Imps Sign Coventry City Player On Loan

The Imps have completed the signing of wing-back Jack Burroughs on a season-long loan from Championship side Coventry City.

You can discuss this news on the forum HERE.

The 22-year-old, who signed a new contract with his hometown club earlier this Summer, is equally adept in playing on either wing.

He came through the ranks at the Sky Blues, with 19 first-team appearances – 14 of which came last season as Coventry reached the play-off final.

Jack Burroughs: “I’m at the stage of my career where I need to play games, I was keen as soon as the club showed an interest in me and the style of play suits me.

“I know players who have been here before, such as Lewis Fiorini and Brooke Norton-Cuffy, and they’ve spoken very highly of the club as well as the supporters – how much noise they can create and how they get behind you. It feels like a good place for me to come, show people what I can do and move forward in my career.”

Jez George: “We have concentrated so far this summer on securing permanent signings but, unless something unexpected happens, we will now be concentrating on the loan market to complete the squad.

“Jack is a fantastic addition for us, with the physicality and athleticism we are looking for in this position, ready to play in League One and crucial in our squad build by being able to provide competition in both wing-back positions.”

Reaction on the forum:

Gaz_Imp: “A quick search on their message board and a lot of their fans expected him in and around first teams. Sounds like another good signing. Don’t think he has come to sit on bench, serious competition for Brown and Lasse.”

Limpy: “Looks like a great signing, can play either side also played in the same team as Lewis Fiorini for Scotland u21s. Their fans seem to rate him on Twitter and Championship experience from last season. Hopefully, get a look Saturday.”

PortMacImp: “Versatile and with some first team appearances behind him, the signing of Jack Burroughs adds some needed depth to the squad. Let’s see how Jack takes the chance.”
