Thorn happy to secure futures of Bell and McPake

Coventry City have confirmed James McPake and David Bell have signed new contracts ahead of the start of the new season. Centre-back McPake arrived from Livingston in January 2009 and he has agreed a deal at the Ricoh Arena until 2013. Bell joined the Sky Blues from Norwich City around the same time as McPake and has accepted a contract until 2015 with the Championship club. Manager Andy Thorn told the club's official website: "Bell and McPake have signed new deals committing them to the club for the next couple of years. "Belly has been a revelation since we took over and after the injury troubles he's had he is now looking forward to spending more time in the first team. "James also missed a lot of football last year with his broken back but he's got a few 90 minutes under his belt now and he's only going to get better. "I brought both players into the club when I was chief scout and both are players I'd admired for quite a while."
