City Sign Duo

Last updated : 01 January 2010 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City have signed Richard Wood and Chris Hussey on permanent deal.

24 year old Wood joins from Sheffield Wednesday and has signed a three year contract. As per usual, City have said the transfer is undisclosed but many other reports have the fee at £500,000.

Wood has signed a deal to keep him at Coventry until June 2013 as has Chris Hussey.

Restricted to a handful of appearances after joining City on loan from AFC Wimbledon, the defender who has his 21st birthday tomorrow, has today signed full time for the Sky Blues.

Speaking about signing the duo, Chris Coleman told the club website: "Richard Wood has always been a target for me ever since I arrived at Coventry so I'm delighted we now have him.

"I think he is one of the best defenders in the Championship as his performances for us to date have shown.

"We bought Chris Hussey as one for the future because he is, in my opinion, the best left-back in the conference.

"In the short time he has been here we have already had three or four enquiries from other clubs asking if we will let him out on loan and we have told them no.

"In Chris we feel we have got someone who is going to turn into a very good player, it's all in front of him and we are looking forward to continually working with him."
