Coventry City have completed the signing of midfielder Adam Barton for an undisclosed fee.



The 21-year-old joined the Sky Blues on a three-year-deal from Preston North End.

The Northern Ireland international has played more than 50 games for Preston after making his debut as a 19-year-old.

Coventry City boss Andy Thorn said: “This is a great signing for us.

"Adam is a big talent and we think he can do extremely well for us. We’ve brought in a really good blend of younger players and experience so far this summer and Adam is another very good addition.

“He’s attracted a lot of attention from other clubs but we have sold to him what a fantastic opportunity this is for him and that he will be given a chance to shine here at Coventry.

“We can’t wait to get him linking up with the other boys and getting him some games under his belt.”

Meanwhile City have confirmed theywill not be signing Brazilian striker Bruno Cazarine after his spell with the Sky Blues – but will be looking at several more players on trial before the season kicks off at Yeovil.
