The 24-year-old striker had been a long time target of boss Steve Bruce, who put in no less than four bids for the player, before finally capturing him.<\/P>

The former England under 20 international has an abundance of pace and excellent technical ability and can play on either the left of midfield or as an outright striker.<\/P>

He finished the 2005\/06 season as top scorer for Micky Adams' Coventry side with 17 goals from the left flank. <\/P>

McSheffrey is a product of Coventry's Academy and prior to moving to St. Andrew's he spent his entire career with his hometown club, except for loan spells at Luton Town and Stockport County.<\/P>

Following his Coventry debut as a 16-year-old, McSheffrey went on to make a total of 162 appearances for the Sky Blues and scored 53 goals.<\/P>","917bhWH7wunT2DpZ81boEKW+IY2Xaifg":"1","Xc9KwDplC+WupoDb8X4gyg==":"\ub3c8\uce90\uc2a4\ud130 \ub85c\ubc84\uc2a4 FC (U18)","e_index":1}; var playerStats={"e_index":1};
