JOSH Auty has agreed a deal to double-up with Elite League Coventry next season.

The Sheffield youngster, 19, is a Coventry asset and will appear for the Bees when his Sheffield fixtures don't clash.

Coventry boss Colin Pratt said: "I think the move from Redcar to Sheffield did Josh good, and it obviously helped him to be working alongside Eric Boocock.

"He seemed to improve week by week, as we saw from the meetings he did for us, so we're pleased to confirm that he's back with us to double-up next season."
