Who is Jordan Shipley? Coventry star linked with Bolton Wanderers, Oxford and Shrewsbury transfer

Bolton Wanderers have made three acquisitions so far in the January transfer window and more incomings are anticipated before the end of the month.

Dion Charles and Aaron Morley have been brought in on permanent deals from Accrington Stanley and Rochdale respectively for transfer fees, the first time Wanderers have done so since 2018.

And Marlon Fossey has joined for the rest of the season on loan from Fulham.

More incomings are being sought with the goalkeeper, midfield and striker positions among the areas being targeted, with Ian Evatt hoping for at least three more incomings to strengthen his squad.

The latest player to be linked with a move to Bolton in January is Coventry City's Jordan Shipley, with our colleagues at CoventryLive highlighting reports that Wanderers, Oxford United and Shrewsbury Town all reported to be interested in his services in the January transfer window.

So who is the Sky Blues man who has been linked with a move to Bolton?

Shipley is 24-years-old and has been with Coventry for the whole of his career so far.

He has played 151 times for the Sky Blues and scored 19 goals, but has played only twice this season for Coventry as he has found game time hard to come by.

The midfielder's contract with the Sky Blues runs out this summer.

Shipley has also represented the Republic of Ireland twice at under-21 level, with both of these appearances coming in 2018.
