However, the former Northern Ireland international has been deemed surplus to requirements by City manager Chris Coleman.

Meanwhile, Coventry have added a trip to Cambridge United to their pre-season schedule.

City will face the Blue Square Premier club on July 26 in a game that will see striker Robbie Simpson returning to his old stomping ground.
