Veteran midfielder Kilbane joins Coventry

League One Coventry have signed Republic of Ireland international Kevin Kilbane on a one-year contract following his release by Hull. The 35-year-old, who has 110 caps, began his career with Preston and has also played for West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland, Everton and Wigan.

"You only have to look at the clubs Kevin has played for and his record at international level to know his quality," said Sky Blues boss Andy Thorn.

"He brings bags of experience to our squad and he will complement the younger players we have here and will help bring them on.

"Not only will he be an asset on the pitch, he will be a big player in the dressing room too so I am really pleased we have acted quickly to bring him in."
