AFC Fylde have strengthened their backline by bringing in defender Harvey Broad on a season-long loan from Coventry, according to BBC News.

The move sees Broad drop down from Championship level to gain regular game time with the National League side for the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign. Fylde will be hoping the defender can bring some top-flight academy pedigree to bolster their defensive options as they push for success this season.

No further details on the length of Broad's parent contract at Coventry or the specifics of the loan agreement were provided in the report.
