McKenzie feared he would never play football again

Coventry City striker Leon McKenzie feared the worst when he injured his ankle earlier this year against Birmingham City.

The 31-year-old made his comeback after six months out in the 1-0 defeat at home to Swansea.

McKenzie had doubts that he would never play for the Sky Blues again.

"I was not really sure if I would wear a shirt again, the way things have gone, I put a doubt in mind," he told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.

He added: "It was nice to get out today, my contract runs out at the end of this month so pretty much I am on a free transfer but it is up to the club to sort that out".

The former Norwich City player made his comeback after six months out in the 1-0 defeat at home to Swansea.

McKenzie was also pleased with the Coventry City supporters after he came off the bench against Swansea.

"The reception was fantastic because there is a lot of time I am on my own and people do not see that, it is very hard mentally to get to the levels where I am today".
