Gael Bigirimana

Gael Bigirimana was signed from Coventry City and enjoyed a promising first season under Alan Pardew.

However, his development stalled in a huge way and he never played for the first team after that initial campaign.

Bigirimana suffered a mystery illness, and even though he went on loan to Rangers he never featured once. Now on loan with the Sky Blues, the youngster is hoping to restart his career.

Transfer rating: 4/10
