Hreidarsson joins Sky Blues relegation fight

THE SKY Blues have signed experienced full-back Hermann Hreidarsson until the end of the season as manager Andy Thorn and his side continue their fight to beat the drop.

The 37-year-old has joined from fellow Championship outfit Portsmouth where he made over 100 appearances and will be available for selection for this weekend's clash with Middlesbrough.

He has a wealth of experience, playing 89 times for Iceland and chalking up more than 400 appearances in English football with Crystal Palace, Brentford, Wimbledon, Ipswich and Charlton.

Coventry manager Andy Thorn said: "I am delighted we have been able to get this deal done.

"Hermann has a great track record and is just the sort of player we need to bring experience to the squad.

"We’ve got a fight on our hands between now and the end of the season and he’s exactly the type of player you want on your side."

Hreidarsson’s arrival follows the signing of striker Alex Nimely on loan from Manchester City on Thursday (January 12).
