TRINIDAD and Tobago international Chris Birchall is on his way out of Coventry City.
The player is effectively on the transfer list after being told he doesn't figure in the manager's plans.
But Chris Coleman has paid tribute to Birchall for his professionalism as he looks for another club.
"I spoke with Birchy last season and told him that we think it will be best if he looks for another club," he said.
"I discussed that with his agent too. He hasn't been an ounce of bother.
"He's a really good pro who comes in and does his work and is happy for the team when they win.
"He is training with us now and is training really hard and well, but he knows the squad I am trying to assemble and it will be hard for Chris to play, but he knows that and he has been a delight."
