Former Coventry City player Ray Gooding is back at the Sky Blues.
Gooding was a scout for City for a good many years before he left and joined Birmingham City.
However, Gooding has been brought back by Mark Venus to scout for City and Gooding who watched City U21's versus QPR on Monday said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “I’m delighted to be back because this is my club.
“I enjoyed my time at Birmingham, which is a good club, but I always found it strange, for me, to take kids from Coventry over to another club when I have been doing it here all my life really.
“I had a phone call out of the blue and was asked to look after the Midlands at the top end with the first team and help out at the Academy,” he said, “so I’ll be looking at players around the leagues on a Saturday and on a Sunday morning I’ll be at grassroots level.
“So Mark or the manager might ask me to go to a certain game and have a look at a certain player and see what I think of them and then I’ll be scouting for the Academy on a Sunday and maybe Under-21 games during the week.”
