After completing the transfer, Irenki said: "I am very happy to be joining this club. I had heard a lot about Coventry City and was very excited about it."

"After communicating with the head coach, I really like his proposed team plans and tactical style. I also look forward to learning from him."

“I want to show the best to the team every day. I am still young, so I hope to learn from the head coach and other players and give my all for the team.”

“I’ve also heard about the Coventry City fans. They’re fantastic, and I can’t wait to meet them.”
