Boothroyd: Marlon looked very fit ":

Marlon King has played for Coventry City reserves yesterday and score in the 4-4 draw with the MK Dons.

The controversial striker played for 85 minutes in a behind closed doors game at the club training ground at Ryton. The game which saw City leading 4-1, was arranged partly to assess the fitness of the 30 year old striker and to try out a few tactics.

City boss Aidy Boothroyd was pleased with King and said to the CT: "Marlon looked very fit and it was a useful exercise all round.

Boothroyd hopes to have King signed and registered in time for the early kick off at The Ricoh against Leicester on Saturday. "It is something I am hoping will be resolved by the end of the week. I want him here and I am sure we will get it all sorted out," he said.
