He has also featured for Fleetwood during pre-season, playing in Town’s 2-0 win over Stockport County.

Speaking to the Fleetwood website, Coleman described his early impressions of the club, its training ground and style of play.

“I’m happy it’s all done and dusted now,” he said.

“I’ve been here for a week now and the training ground is unbelievable, and the lads have been amazing.

“I’m just hoping that we can push this year and do one better than the club did last season.

“I played on Saturday against Stockport and he (Joey Barton, head coach) said that he likes my style of play, he encourages you to play out from the back and that’s what I want to do as well.

“I enjoyed the game on the weekend and hope that there is more like that to come.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge, nothing is a given at League One. It’s a good standard and you need to earn your spot.”

Town have also confirmed their Carabao Cup first round clash with Wigan Athletic will be played behind closed doors at Highbury on Saturday, September 5 (3pm).
