Coventry City manager Mark Robins is delighted to have finally got his man as the Sky Blues have secured the signing of former Bristol City full-back Jay Dasilva on a four-year contract.
Coventry came close to signing Dasilva in January but the move collapsed as the Robins were unable to complete a deal for AFC Wimbledon’s Jack Currie. However, with the 25-year-old rejecting a new contract at Ashton Gate, Coventry were able to pick him up on a free transfer with the move confirmed just three days after their defeat in the Championship play-off final and just a few hours after they published their retained list.
The move to the Midlands will reunite Dasilva with close friend and former City teammate Kasey Palmer plus Robins’ No2 Adi Viveash who was his coach during his time in the Chelsea academy.
