Club career
Coventry City
McSheffrey was born in Coventry, and began his football career at home town club Coventry City. When he made his first-team debut against local rivals Aston Villa at the age of 16 years and 198 days on 27 February 1999, a game that Coventry won 4–1, he became the youngest player ever to play in the Premier League. He held the record for over four years until Aaron Lennon made his Leeds United debut at a younger age in August 2003.[3][4] During his time at Coventry he spent loan spells at Stockport County, Luton Town earlier in the 2004–05 season[5][6] helping them achieve promotion to the Championship,[7] and Swedish side IK Brage.[8] He represented England at under-18[citation needed] and under-20 levels.[9]

His return to Coventry was a largely disappointing spell in his career, despite being a regular starter, fans felt that his best years were past him. McSheffrey was one of eight players told in June 2013 that they did not feature in manager Steven Pressley's future plans,[34] and one of five who had to train on their own during pre-season.[35] On 3 September, his contract was cancelled.[36]
