SAMMY Clingan joined the Sky Blues for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2009, becoming Chris Coleman's first new signing ahead of the 2009/10 Championship season.
The Northern Ireland international arrived at the Ricoh Arena from League One outfit Norwich City who were relegated from the Championship in 2008/09.
Clingan came to the Sky Blues as a central midfielder with plenty of Championship experience after spending one year at Norwich, two at Nottingham Forest where he was part of the side that won promotion from the English third tier in 2007/08, and five at Wolverhampton Wanderers who signed him from his native country as a 16-year-old.
Two loan spells at Chesterfield were sandwiched in between his move from Wolves to Forest where he made 93 appearances before his one-year stint at the Canaries which saw him net six goals in 40 appearances, establishing himself as Norwich's set-piece taker of choice.
