BILLY SHARP has been offered a career lifeline by four clubs after his shock release by Sheffield United.
Coventry boss Mark Robins hopes to snap up the veteran striker.
Robins is fighting with Rotherham, Hull and Derby for the 37-year-old.
Sharp was released by his beloved Sheffield United after their return to the Premier League.
He had been with the club for the past eight seasons, scoring 116 goals.

Sharp has twice won promotion to the Prem with the Blades and was part of the squad that stayed up in 2019/20 before relegation back to the second tier the following season.
Coventry need more firepower next season although Rotherham could persuade Sharp to stay in Yorkshire.
If the Sky Blues get their man, it may mean an exit for striker Matty Godden, 31.
A decision will be taken this week, SunSport can reveal.
Coventry could also lose striker Viktor Gyokeres.

But speculation suggests he is ready to join Sporting Lisbon with a medical set ahead of a £20million move.
