Luke Woolfenden is eager to make his mark with Coventry City after securing a spot in the starting line-up. The talented defender joined the club from Ipswich Town at the start of September, but his journey to the pitch has taken patience. Now, he is prepared to start his third consecutive match against Ipswich on Monday at 18:00 GMT.
Patience Pays Off
Woolfenden, 28, understands the challenges of joining a team that was already performing well. “Coming on deadline day, with the boys already flying, there’s no reason to change the team,” he explained in an interview with BBC CWR. His patience has been tested as he waited for opportunities to play.
Transitioning to a Starting Role
After initially coming off the bench, Woolfenden experienced the difficulties of limited minutes. However, he has stayed positive throughout this phase. “I’ve really enjoyed being here, so it hasn’t been an issue for me,” he shared. Now that he has a chance to contribute to the team consistently, Woolfenden is ready to embrace the moments ahead.
First Home Start
His first home start came during the Boxing Day victory over Swansea City, an experience that deepened his appreciation for the team’s fanbase. “It gives you goosebumps at the start when they sing that song,” he remarked, reminiscing about the crowd’s energy.
