Wood Joins Coventry - Ipswich Town News

Sheffield Wednesday central defender Richard Wood has agreed to join Coventry City on a loan deal which will be made permanent in January. Town made a move for Wood in August and were believed to be monitoring the situation after the Osset-born defender was transfer-listed by the Owls.

Sky Blues boss Chris Coleman, who is understood to have paid £500,000 for the 24-year-old, said: I'm delighted to get Richard, who I have admired and targeted ever since I came back from Spain.

"I know there's been a lot of interest in him from other clubs, so it's great news that he's decided to sign for us and I'm very looking forward to working with him."
