Former Sunderland loanee Callum Doyle has signed for Coventry City on a season-long-loan deal. The Manchester City defender will spend the year with the Sky Blues following his first season in senior football with the Black Cats last term.
Doyle made 44 appearances for Sunderland last season as he played an important role in the club’s promotion back to the Championship. Alex Neil’s side beat Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 in the play-off final to end their four year stay in League One.
The 18-year-old will not have to wait for his first reunion with his former side either, as Coventry travel to the Stadium of Light on the opening day of the season. Speaking after confirmation of his arrival this evening, Doyle discussed the ‘great experience’ he had during his time Sunderland and is ‘buzzing’ to begin his Coventry career at his former club.
