Coventry joined the Posh on a season-long loan in August, but West Ham United have exercised the recall option following the opening of the January transfer window. The diminutive midfielder, who’s currently the captain of the Ireland U21 side, made 12 Championship appearances – only four of which were starts – for Peterborough.
“It was unfortunate that he did not get more minutes, but he was a fantastic professional and I enjoyed working with him,” manager Darren Ferguson said. “I wish him all the best in the future.” London-born Coventry has had three first-team outings for West Ham in the Carabao Cup since progressing through the Premier League club’s youth academy.DIFFERENTLY Get closer to the stories that matter with exclusive analysis, insight and debate in The42 Membership.
