O'Donovan Praise For City Youngsters

Last updated : 25 August 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City forward Roy O’Donovan is full of praise for the likes of youngsters like Gael Bigirimana, Cyrus Christie (pictured below), Conor Thomas and Josh Ruffels who have come in to the first team this season. 

Like the quartet, O’Donovan was also on the Academy’s books before he left and replaced by Craig Reid in 2005. 

Speaking to Sky Blue Player, O’Donovan said: "I think back to when I was 17 and coming into the first team environment and I might have been a bit more overawed by it. 

"They are all good boys and are great pros. It's a credit to Gregor Rioch and everyone down at the Academy and it bodes well for this football club."
