Scowcroft Joins Sky Blues

Scowcroft, who spent the latter parts of last season on loan at former club Ipswich Town and who was released by Craig Levein at the end of the campaign, has signed a three-year contract with Micky Adams' side.

"James is a player who is proven at the top level," said Sky Blues boss Adams.

"He has a lot of qualities and can play in a variety of positions across the front line. I worked with him at Leicester and I know that he will be a very valuable addition to our squad."

Scowcroft spent four years at The Walkers stadium following his move from Ipswich, making 147 appearances and scoring 27 goals.
