Clayton Ince has signed a two deal with the Sky Blues. The Crewe keeper decided to reject a two year deal at Gresty Road and opted to join the Sky Blues on a free transfer.

Trinidadian Ince left Crewe with a stinking rebute of Alex boss Dario Gradi. He told This Is Staffordshire: "I am disappointed to be leaving as the fans have been great. "During my time at Crewe, I have always been around the fans and they have been brilliant.

"I appreciate them a lot for what they did - they were the only ones on my side when I was down and out of the side. "They made me feel at home when I was away from home (Trinidad). I was disappointed I could not have got that sort of encouragement in my career from the manager."

After putting pen to paper, Ince told Sky Blue World: "It was a big upheaval to be leaving Gresty Road but it's a bigger challenge and I want to test myself at a high level, so coming to Coventry is a good challenge for me and I hope I live up to it.

"I'm very excited to be here, it's a new challenge and I just can't wait to get out there and do the business on the pitch."

"I'm hoping that we can get promoted and with me coming here it's just putting a bonus on to it, and that the Club reaches where it should be, and that's top-flight football.

"I always look at the highest places in the table and the play-off places are not a hard place to reach once we are consistent, and with a lot of hard work I hope we can reach it.

"From a personal perspective I want to get that number one spot, but my target is to stay fit and get the team where they deserve to be."
