Loaned To Save Money - Kyle

Kevin Kyle has said that his lack of appearances for Coventry City this season is due to a payment clause.

Speaking after completing a month's loan to Hartlepool United, Kyle said to Hartlepool's club website: "I'm excited about the move and delighted to be back in the North East.

"I've had some good times here in the past and things have not been going according to plan recently so it's nice to get away and try something fresh at Hartlepool.

"I'm pleased to be here and I'm looking forward to playing some First Team football again.

"I've just found out really that I've played 47 games for Coventry and if I play 50 then they have to pay Sunderland another £100,000. "I think that's the main reason I've not been playing though people may tell you different but this opportunity came up and I wanted to push it through.

"There were a few other clubs in this division interested but I came to watch a few weeks ago and was impressed with how many crosses they put in to the box which is what I thrive on."
