AFTER the breakdown of a January move to Yeovil Town, Forest Green left-back Chris Stokes could join Coventry City on loan before the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has spent the week training at the League One outfit and is understood to be keen on a move which would see him link-up with his former Forest Green boss David Hockaday, who was unveiled as the Sky Blues’ professional development coach on Monday.

Signed in November 2010 following his release by Bolton Wanderers, Stokes has made more than 100 Conference appearances for Rovers and is a former Supporters’ Player of the Year.
