Championship leaders Coventry City have signed Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka on loan for the rest of the season.

Onyeka, 28, joined the Bees from Danish Superliga side Midtjylland in 2021 and has made 87 appearances for them, scoring once.

The Nigeria international has played six times in the Premier League this season, all as a substitute, and started for the Super Eagles in their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final shoot-out defeat to Morocco.

He spent last season on loan with Augsburg, making 30 starts in the Bundesliga.

Onyeka said: "I'm a strong midfielder, I'm a winner and I always want to fight for my team-mates.

"My aim is to give 100%, bring my experience and help the team get promoted to the Premier League and bring glory to the city again."
