Coventry City's Tom Billson joins Scunthorpe United on loan
The 20 year old is rated highly by Coventry manager Mark Robins
Scunthorpe United has completed the signing of Coventry City goalkeeper Tom Billson on a season-long loan.
Its the 20 year old's first loan spell away from the Sky Blues.
He rose through the ranks at Coventry, enjoying success with the Under-23s team during the 2018/19 season.
Billson made his professional debut debut for City in the League Cup second round against Gillingham.
First team manager Neil Cox said:
"This is one we've been trying to sort for five or six weeks now. I'd just like to thank Coventry City for helping us out and making this happen really.
"The boy's been excited about the prospect of coming to this football club but everything had to be done right, and I'm over the moon that he's in the building.
"He's 6ft 3in, a big unit, strong, brave and got a lot about him. He's an organiser and another good player we've brought in. I think he'll be a good signing for us.
"(Coventry manager) Mark Robins rates him highly and he was telling me how he's an excellent goalkeeper, a brilliant shotstopper and has been in and around their first team but he needs a loan move.
"He's been training with Coventry so far this pre-season and now comes into the building, and has enough time to play some friendly games with us."
