Quirkey Plays Outfield

Coventry City young goalkeeper Michael Quirke, played as an outfield substitute during the Sky Blues 2-0 Behind Closed Doors training ground match against Austrian Second Division side SV Gaflenz.

The Covsupport News Service Coventry City U18's Player Of The Year did not feature in goal with Australian trialist Lawrence Thomas getting an outing as well as number one choice Keiren Westwood and instead was given a run-out upfield instead.

"Quirky can say that he has played for the first team now," said City boss Aidy Boothroyd to the CT's Andy Turner.



"It was just one of those things because he was the only player not to get a look in and I thought it was the right thing to do to give him a little run out, and hopefully he won't be bragging about it too much."
