Coventry City have announced the signing of former Nigerian striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni on a deal until the end of the season.
The former Portsmouth, Everton, Middlesbrough, Blackburn Rovers and Reading star arrives at the Ricoh Arena, where he will be hoping to help the Sky Blues avoid
relegation
The 34-year-old joins the League One side after a brief stint
in Turkey with Kayserispor.
Yakubu has scored 130 goals during his time in England, playing in the Premier League for Blackburn Rovers, Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Everton, as well as enjoying stints with Leicester City and Reading.
“We’re pleased to have secured the signing of Yakubu, who
brings vast experience and a terrific goal record," Coventry
manager Russell Slade told the club's official website.
“His professional career speaks for itself, having scored
consistently at the highest level of English football, and will
act as a superb role model for the younger players.
“He is astute on the ball, has clear quality and presence,
and we’ll continue to work on his match fitness as we
prepare for the final 16 games of this season.”
Coventry will hope Yakubu can regain his scoring form of
old, with the club rooted to the bottom of the League One
table. In the league, only Oldham have scored fewer goals
than the Sky Blues this campaign.
