COVENTRY City have bolstered their squad by signing experienced full-back Hermann Hreidarsson until the end of the season.

The 37-year-old has joined from Portsmouth, where he has played more than 100 league games in the Premier League and the Championship.

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.
