Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that Marvin Sordell was one of his prime targets.
Speaking to Laura Hunter, Mowbray said about the striker who has signed a one year deal with the option of a second: "Marvin is a player that the club followed closely last year and was a prime target for us in the summer window.
"He performed extremely well for Colchester United in the first half of last season and will give us another valuable option in attack. Marvin is still relatively young and I see plenty of potential for him to progress with us and make a positive impact on the season."
