Football: Listed City trio report for training.Byline: By Andy Turner For other persons of the same name, see Andrew Turner (disambiguation). Andy Turner (born 23 March 1975 in Woolwich).He is an English footballer who is currently a Player Coach with Chasetown who play in the Southern League Division One Midlands. THREE of Coventry City's transfer-listed players will be reporting back for duty with the club on Monday. Ady Williams, Andy Morrell Andrew Jonathan Morrell (born 28 September 1974 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Blackpool. Brought up in Market Bosworth, he played for the Leicestershire County Cricket Club from under-15 to under-19 level. and Claus Jorgensen are all due to return to Ryton for pre-sea-son training with the rest of the Sky Blues squad after failing to find new clubs over the summer. And as far as Jorgensen is concerned, he is still very much a Coventry City player unless anything better comes up. "I will be back at Ryton on Monday," he said, "and ready to fight for my place unless my situation changes. "I have been in contact with a couple of clubs but things are pretty slow at this time of the year and managers usually leave things late before making decisions on players. "But if I am back at Coventry then I have to think of myself as a Coventry player. I can't start thinking that I am not going to be here because that way you take your eye off the ball. "The manager has been very honest with me and I with him. The fact is Coventry is my club and I want to be here, but I also have to be realistic and be prepared to move on." Centre-back Williams is also planning on reporting back for duty on Monday when he faces tough competition from new signings Mikkel Bischoff Mikkel Bischoff (born February 3, 1982) is a Danish professional footballer who plays for Brøndby IF in the Danish Superliga. At 6'4"/1.93 m he adds height to any defence and can play at full back or even as a striker. and Elliott Ward Elliott Ward (born January 19, 1985 in Harrow) is an English professional football player. Ward, a central defender, currently plays for Coventry City. Ward came up through the youth system of West Ham United, making his debut for the Under-17 side before joining the first who look set to push him well down the pecking order with Robert Page and Matt Heath also vying for the two central defensive berths. And Andy Morrell will be back as well after turning down an offer from Championship new-boys Southend because he doesn't want to uproot his young family so far from the midlands. The striker is still looking and hopeful that Nottingham Forest, whose new manager Colin Calderwood wanted to take him to Northampton, will make him an offer before the season starts. CITY'S first two home games of the season, against Sunderland and Leicester will be featured live on Sky TV. The Sunderland game will now kick off at 1.30pm on Sunday August 6, while the game against the Foxes has been moved to Friday August 18 (7.45pm). CAPTION(S): REALISTIC... Claus Jorgensen |
