Neither Crawley Town nor Coventry City will attempt to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Leon Clarke, according to the managers of both clubs.

The managers of Crawley Town and Coventry City have ruled their clubs out of the running to sign Leon Clarke.

The striker left Coventry for Wolverhampton Wanderers in January, but a succession of injuries limited his opportunities to make an early impression at Molineux.

That had resulted in speculation that he could be moved on this summer, with switches to Crawley and Coventry mooted. However, neither will make a bid for the 29-year-old.

"I've had no conversations with Leon or anyone else from Wolves. I wish it was true but they paid £750,000 for him and he is earning around £10,000 per week so I don't think it will happen," the Express & Star quotes Crawley boss John Gregory as saying.

Meanwhile, Coventry manager Steven Pressley added: "When we allowed him to go to Wolves the decision wasn't made purely on football considerations. There were one or two other factors that came into it and I felt it was the right time for both parties to move on.

"No, I won't be trying to sign Leon if he becomes available. I'm looking for a Leon Clarke type of striker and he undeniably fits the bill, but that moment has gone."

Clarke made 13 appearances, nine as a substitute, for Wolves last term, from which he scored one goal.
