Coventry City manager Mark Robins has lauded new recruit Brandon Thomas-Asante, describing the Ghana forward as a striker with a proven goalscoring pedigree.
Thomas-Asante joins the Sky Blues from Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion on a four-year contract, marking him as the club's fifth summer signing. The transfer fee has not been disclosed.
Robins expressed his enthusiasm for the signing:
“We’re excited to welcome Brandon to Coventry City. He is a powerful and pacy striker who has goalscoring pedigree at this level plus a great attitude and work-rate. Brandon can play across the front line and will further strengthen our attacking options. We look forward to working with him at Coventry City.”
Thomas-Asante’s arrival comes in the wake of notable departures from West Bromwich Albion, including Conor Townsend’s £750,000 transfer to Ipswich Town and Matt Phillips' move to Oxford United. The forward initially joined West Brom from Salford City under manager Steve Bruce on the August 2022 deadline day for an undisclosed fee.
His time at Albion was marked by his impressive goalscoring record, further enhancing his reputation as a valuable addition for Coventry City.
With Thomas-Asante’s addition, Coventry City bolsters their attacking options as they aim for a successful campaign in the Championship.
