James Tarkowski sends eight-word message to former Everton teammate Conor Coady as Leicester transfer confirmed
Everton ace James Tarkowski has sent an eight-word message to his former Toffees centre-back partner Conor Coady.
The message comes after Coady signed a three-year deal with Leicester City, having left Wolves after eight years at the club.
The centre-back spent last season on loan at the Merseyside outfit, where he made 25 appearances in all competitions.
“I’m very lucky to be given the opportunity to represent this incredible football club,” Coady wrote on Instagram. “Can’t wait to meet the lads and get going… Let’s go.”
His former Everton teammate Tarkowski replied: “Love it Cod Piece! Go well my brother.”
Strong bond
Despite previously playing for Liverpool, Coady was well-liked in the blue half of Merseyside, with many Everton fans left confused when the club did not secure his services on a permanent basis after the end of his loan spell.
The centre-back was a regular figure for the Toffees for much of the campaign, but he did lose his spot in the starting XI shortly after the arrival of Sean Dyche in the Everton dugout.
That is perhaps one of the main reasons why Coady is no longer a Toffees player, but he is now in for regular minutes at his new club, albeit in the Championship.
However, he looks set to play an important role in Leicester’s fight for immediate promotion to the top flight, with the Foxes and Coady in with a good chance of playing Premier League football once again very shortly.
When he did play for the Toffees, Coady formed a strong bond with fellow centre-back Tarkowski, with the pair definitely key to the club’s survival last season.
