Former England international joins League 1 Coventry City.
Joe Cole has today agreed a loan move to the Ricoh arena after being left out of Sherwood’s plans.
The 35 year old has been left in the cold at Aston Villa since joining in 2014 making just 16 appearances for the club. In a move to gain more game time Cole has decided to drop down 2 leagues.
Coventry City Manager Tony Mowbray spoke about the signing.
“I’m delighted to welcome such a high-calibre player to the club.
“Joe has a great pedigree, both on the domestic and international stage, and I’m sure he’ll have a fantastic impact during his time at the club.
“I’ve met with Joe and he has watched us play several times this season. He likes the way we play the game and because of that, he has shown a real enthusium to come and play for the club.
“He’s a player who will give us another option in the forward areas and I’m sure the squad are looking forward to working with him.
“We’ve got plenty of games coming up which will be crucial to us maintaining our early-season form and I’m looking forward to seeing Joe in action for the Sky Blues.”
