Sam Ricketts has said that he wants to continue what Coventry City started last season.
The Sky Blues started and finished strongly but were let down by a three month patch whereby they picked up fifteen league points.
Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Ricketts said about why he took the deal offered to him by City: “I just wanted to continue what we started last season.
“I think the brand of football the gaffer plays and Jamie Clapham involved in the coaching I think it’s a really modern style of football and I really enjoy that. We try to control the game with the ball which is always enjoyable to play.
“I said it last year when I first arrived that Coventry is still a club with huge potential to achieve things and at some point it is going to click into place. It’s a big club, a massive club and it there’s really no limit to what Coventry can do.
“Swansea and Southampton have done it; there are many clubs who have gone from this level all the way through and are now established Premier League clubs.
“I spoke to various people who rang me but I was never really looking to go anywhere else because I enjoy it here.
“I speak to the manager a lot and really like him, like the way he plays and also as a person so I had no reason to go anywhere else. It was never really in any doubt not staying.”
