“a hero’s welcome”:Coventry City supporters are calling for manager Frank Lampard to extend a warm reception to Newcastle United forward , urging the club to secure his services.

A 29-year-old right-back, began his career at Newcastle, making his first-team debut in 2016. During the 2016–2017 season, he was loaned to Coventry City, where he made 16 appearances and contributed to the team’s dynamics. His familiarity with the club and prior experience in the Championship make him a compelling candidate for a return.

Currently, Sterry is with Doncaster Rovers, having joined them in 2023 after a three-year stint at Hartlepool United. His consistent performances have showcased his defensive solidity and ability to support forward play, attributes that could bolster Coventry’s squad depth. With the team’s current challenges in defense, fans believe that re-signing Sterry could provide the necessary reinforcement.

Manager Frank Lampard, appointed in November 2024, has been actively seeking to strengthen the squad. The potential acquisition of a player familiar with the club’s ethos and the Championship’s demands aligns with Lampard’s strategy to blend experience with emerging talent. As the transfer window approaches, the Coventry faithful are hopeful that Sterry will be welcomed back, providing a boost to the team’s aspirations for the remainder of the season.
