Thornton's last match for City was against Charlton in April

Coventry City have parted company with Kevin Thornton by mutual consent.

The midfielder, who made 55 appearances in four seasons, scored just twice for the Sky Blues and spent a period out on loan at Brighton last year.

Last month the 22-year-old was convicted of a drink driving offence for being over twice the legal limit.

Thornton also pleaded guilty to having no insurance, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and not having a full driving licence.

The Irish midfielder was handed a 22-month ban from driving, fined £2,750 and ordered to pay £260 in costs.
