One More Year For Hall

Marcus Hall has signed a one year deal with Coventry City. This will give the Coventry born defender a twelfth season at City.

Hall has made a total of 272 appearances for Coventry in two spells. He came through the youth ranks to turn out 156 times for the Club, mostly during the Premier League, before making a short switch to Nottingham Forest in 2002.

Following spells with Southampton and Stoke he returned to the Sky Blues in 2005 and has since turned out another 116 times, making 21 appearances last term.

The 32-year-old admitted he had no doubts over penning his new deal and cannot wait for what he hopes will be a more successful season.

"I'm very pleased to sign a new contract," said Hall to the club website. "It's good to get everything in place and I never had any doubts about signing.

"I'm delighted to be a Coventry City player and it's great that I'll be here for another season. It went a lot closer to the wire than I thought it would last season but things are in place for next season to be much better."

Sky Blues boss Chris Coleman added that he is glad to add a player of Marcus' experience to his playing ranks in 2008/09.

"Marcus is a Coventry lad, he's a fans favourite and we're delighted that he'll be with us again next season.," said the City manager who spent yesterday sorting out his team for next season.

"He's got bags of experience and you need that in any side. He's Coventry City through and through and he will be a valuable member of our squad next season."
