Coventry City manager Mark Robins is full of praise for summer signing Raphael Borges Rodrigues, believing the young winger has the potential to be a star player for the club. The 20-year-old Brazilian-Australian joined the Sky Blues in May from Macarthur FC, signing a four-year contract and becoming the club’s first capture of the transfer window.
While it remains to be seen how quickly Rodrigues will adapt to the English Championship, Robins is confident that with time and support, the talented player will thrive. Initially uncertain whether Rodrigues would join as a senior option or development project, Robins has confirmed that the young winger will be part of the first team squad.
With a focus on settling Rodrigues into the team, Robins emphasizes the player’s potential and positive attributes. The club has helped Rodrigues integrate by arranging an apartment for him in a close-knit community alongside other new recruits. This support system aims to ensure that Rodrigues feels comfortable and ready to make an impact on the pitch.
