Last updated : 10 September 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City CEO Steve Waggott has said that he is delighted that Steven Pressley, Neil MacFarlane and Darren Murray have signed new deals.

The trio all signed four year deals today and speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Steve Waggott said:  “We are absolutely delighted that Steven and Neil have agreed new deals with the club.

“We’ve seen over the past 18 months the positive impact the players from our Academy have had as they have come into the first team and we want to very much continue and expand that model and Steven is front and centre of that.

“He has, quite rightly, become extremely popular with our supporters since taking over as manager. He has faced adversity head-on and, considering the circumstances, did a wonderful job in keeping the club in League One last season.

“His passion, drive and commitment to Coventry City has been clear for all to see over the past year-and-a-half and that really manifested itself at the first game back at the Ricoh Arena.

“We believe the length of contract underlines both his desire to see the job through he has started and also our belief that we have one of the best young managers around.

"Success at Coventry City, however, will not come down to a single individual and it will require everyone at the club, including our supporters, pulling together.

“Neil is another key figure within that and forms part of the coaching team that we feel can deliver success.

“We are thrilled that he has signed a new contract too and the stability that brings will provide the bedrock for the whole club.”
