Speaking to the Coventry Evening Telegraph, new signing Stern John said that he wants to score goals for his new club.

The 27 year old said: "I am fit and ready to play and I hope I will be in the team tomorrow when I will be looking to score on my debut. "I scored on my debut for my last couple of clubs and I would like that to continue with Coventry.

"The reason I chose Coventry was because of Peter Reid," he revealed. "He has been there and done it at this level and I know what a great manager he is.
"He is bringing in new players to make the team stronger and I want to be a part of that. I was tempted to go back to Forest but I prefer to come to Coventry who are a club who look like they are going places."

Peter Reid is happy with his new signing,but admitted that the search for new talent would continue and said "He is a quality player at a higher level than this so it is a really good scoop by the club to sign him.

"I have known about him for a few years and I am just delighted that he is at the club and I am sure he will do a fantastic job for us.

"I am sure he will give the players a real lift and hopefully the supporters and club as a whole as well because I feel he will give us real quality up front where we have got a lot of competition. So it is a massive boost for us."
