Stephen Hunt has announced his retirement from football.
Hunt played five times for City's first team and a number of times for City U21's in the season just gone but it was clear that he was not the quality player he once was and the defender/midfielder has announced his retirement.
Hunt, is quoted as saying by the Coventry Telegraph: "The second last game of the season (Coventry 3-1 Sheffield United) was supposed to be my last game.
"I asked the manager (Tony Mowbray) could he consider picking me and he said I was playing anyway, so I brought my family along, knowing it would be my last game.
"That was quite emotional for them. For me, it wasn't, because I just wanted to play well. So it didn't really touch me then.
"But, the week after, the manager said to me, 'oh, you played well last week, we're playing Oldham'. Now, in fairness, I didn't really fancy finishing my career at Oldham, but it was another game, and the set of lads I played with, I enjoyed their company, so I said 'OK, no problem'.
"I literally went to the pitch for a walk around by myself, and, with music playing, I got a little bit emotional then. I was thinking, 'OK, this is actually going to be the last time I step on an English football pitch."
Hunt has television work in his native Ireland lined up.
