3 out-of-contract players Coventry City look unlikely to keep beyond 2025

3 out-of-contract players Coventry City look unlikely to keep beyond 2025

Over the last few seasons, Coventry City has undergone a great deal of change, and this trend is probably going to continue in the upcoming campaigns.

Over the last two years or so, Coventry City has been able to spend significant sums of money to bolster their team, which has raised expectations at the CBS Arena.

Following their disappointing performance in the 2023 play-off final and their expensive sales of players such as Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer, Mark Robins has made a major investment in their playing roster.

Such a shift is probably going to continue, and it tends to knock some individuals down the ladder; some of these players might be close to finishing their careers with the Sky Blues because their contracts expire next summer.

Having said that, the following three Coventry City players may be let go in 2025 when their contracts expire.

Ben Wilson

Although Wilson has somewhat unexpectedly returned to the starting lineup ahead of summer acquisition Oliver Dovin, it wouldn’t be shocking if the latter were to reclaim his position.

Instead of relying on Wilson in case things don’t go as planned, the emphasis should be on making Dovin the mainstay in goal. Though the 32-year-old is more than capable of starting, it might be best for him to go elsewhere for that position.

Next summer might be the ideal time for him to do so because his contract is about to expire.

Jack Burroughs

Burroughs is now out on loan from Coventry City once more, so it wouldn’t be shocking if he didn’t play for Sky Blue once more. Following his spell with Lincoln City in the previous season, he joined Kilmarnock.

Instead of switching between loan teams, the 23-year-old will gain from being able to commit to one club long-term, which may help him truly settle in and get going.

It wouldn’t be shocking if Burroughs left after his contract expired at the conclusion of the season if a deal wasn’t approved before next summer.
