Roy Keane is looking at including a warm weather training camp as part of Town's pre-season build up.

The Blues' boss has finalised his fixtures in the lead up to the August 8 Championship kick-off at Coventry with his side taking on Finn Harps, Brentford, Waterford, Cork, Southend, Colchester, Charlton and Spanish club Real Valladolid.

Speaking to the Club website, Roy said: "I'm delighted with the way our pre-season has fallen into place.

"We've got a nice mix of games with matches against local opposition and the trips to Ireland as well so it will be a good challenge for the players.

"The Finn Harps match is quite early after we return to training but often you have a practise game four or five days back into training so it will be no different and we will be careful how we use the players.

"We are looking at a training camp for a few days as well. It's all about getting the fitness levels up and getting the players switched into the mindset we want.

"Obviously we want to get through pre-season without any injuries, that's also vitally important. We need to have everyone fit and well and peaking for the Coventry game at the start of the season."
