As the Championship season comes to a close, Bobby Thomas’ future at Coventry City remains uncertain.

The 25-year-old has been a crucial role for the Sky Blues this season, with two goals and four assists in 26 league games.

Frank Lampard’s squad is vying for automatic promotion to the Premier League and presently leads the league.

The club has not competed in the first level since 2001, and they have twice lost in the play-offs in the last three seasons.

Thomas joined Coventry from Burnley during the summer transfer window in 2023, following their play-off final loss to Luton Town.

His contract is now due to expire in June 2027, putting him in the penultimate year of his current deal and creating concerns about his long-term future at the CBS Arena.

Bobby Thomas delivers Coventry City contract update.

Thomas has spoken about his future at Coventry, amid reports of interest from Everton, Brentford, and Leeds United.

The defender has stated that any conversations about a new contract will most likely wait until the conclusion of the season, as he wants to focus on helping the team earn promotion to the Premier League.

“To be honest, I was looking at getting this season out of the way and concentrating on doing what we all need to do and get to where we want to get to,” stated Thomas, according to Coventry Live.

“And then we’ll evaluate it at the end of the season.”

“I don’t think I want to get caught up in something like that at the moment.”

Thomas has been a consistent presence for Lampard’s side this season, attracting the attention of a number of Premier League clubs.

Brentford, Leeds, and Everton have all been mooted as possible next stops for the 25-year-old, who is entering the final year of his Coventry deal.

Last week, the Sky Blues announced new deals for Liam Kitching, Jay Dasilva, and Milan van Ewijk, which has boosted the first-team roster.

However, Thomas’ future with the Championship side remains unknown as they struggle for promotion.

Lampard’s side now leads the second division table after a 2-0 victory over West Brom on Saturday.

Goals by Ephron Mason-Clark and Jack Rudoni in the first half secured three points for the Sky Blues, who moved three points ahead of Middlesbrough in second.

Coventry’s next game is against an in-form Sheffield United on February 25 at 7.45pm.

Bobby Thomas’ contract could rely on Premier League status.

Thomas is entering the final year of his contract, which affords him significant bargaining power with Coventry given the transfer interest in him at this point.

If the Sky Blues are unable to convert their current table place into first flight status for the following season, Thomas may seek a move elsewhere.

At that time, it may be better for the team to cash in rather than risk losing him for free in 2027, especially given his potential transfer worth.

This emphasizes the importance of promotion for Coventry, as the prospect of Premier League football will tempt players to stay at the CBS Arena, potentially attracting talent who would not want to compete in the Championship.
