Pair of Sky Blues Head to Alvechurch

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Alvechurch have taken two players on loan from Championship side Coventry City for the remainder of the season.

Sky Blues under-21 and under-23 defender Abel Alabi returns to Lye Meadow for a second loan spell, having had a one-month spell there earlier this season.

The 19-year-old is no stranger to the Premier Division Central, having spent a month on loan with league leaders Tamworth over the Christmas period.

Alabi is a versatile defender or midfielder, who was previously with League of Ireland outfit Waterford, where he played for the Blues at academy level at under-15 and under-17 level.

During his time with Waterford, he was also part of the assessment trials for the Republic of Ireland under-17 side.

Alabi will be eligible to play for Coventry in the Birmingham Senior Cup when City face Alvechurch.

As will midfielder Aiden Finnegan, who also moved from the Rico Arena to Lye Meadow on loan.

Also a regular in the Sky Blues` under-21 side, the move to the Worcestershire side is the 20-year-old's first loan away from the Sky Blues, who he joined in 2020 following the expiry of his scholarship with Birmingham City.

He spent his years climbing through the academy at Birmingham.
