Coventry fail with bid for Parkin
Sam Parkin
Parkin had an injury plagued 2005-06 season
Ipswich have turned down an approach from Championship rivals Coventry for striker Sam Parkin.

Parkin, 25, joined Ipswich from Swindon in the summer of 2005 but missed much of last season with a broken ankle.

"There was an initial inquiry from Coventry and we rejected an offer but there's been nothing more since," boss Jim Magilton told the club website.

"Sam is still part of my thinking and will be in the squad for Tuesday's game with Wolves."

Parkin did not feature in Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Crystal Palace.

Magilton added: "He was in the squad, but didn't make my 16 because I felt his form in pre-season wasn't as good as the other players who were in the squad."

Coventry manager Micky Adams has made sweeping changes to his squad for the new season, with 10 new signings including West Ham's Elliott Ward and Port Vale's Chris Birchall.
