Sent To Coventry

Irish midfield maestro Michael Doyle is set for an emotional return to the Ricoh Arena - a mere six months after leaving.

Following Sheffield United's relegation to League One, his £12,000 per week wages have proved to be too much for the Blades and they are willing to release him from his contract to re-unite with the Warwickshire men. New Coventry boss Andy Thorn is known to have been upset with former manager Aidy Boothroyd's decision to let Doyle go and is keen to have him back in the City engine room.

Doyle, who turns 30 in August, was a fans' favourite during his previous spell at Coventry, and his 265 appearances were characterised by his non-stop commitment and energy. Thorn is in need of bolstering his midfield with the likely departure of Icelandic star Aron Gunnarsson, who is attracting interest from Blackburn and Sunderland.
