Former Everton and Blackburn Rovers striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has signed for League One side Coventry City until the end of the season.

The 34 year old has now penned a deal that will see him stay at Coventry until May 2017.

"We're pleased to have secured the signing of Yakubu, who brings vast experience and a terrific goal record," boss Russell Slade told Coventry's official website.

"His professional career speaks for itself, having scored consistently at the highest level of English football, and he 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."
