Coventry City have secured the services of Frank Nouble on a permanent contract.

The striker had spent most of the season to date on loan at the Ricoh Arena from Ipswich Town.

However, having recently been released by the Championship outfit, the 23-year-old has now signed a deal with Coventry that will expire in the summer.

"We're delighted to get Frank signed up until the end of the season. During his time at the club, we believe he has shown that he has the potential to develop into a Coventry City player," manager Steven Pressley told the club's official website.

"The deal is only until the end of the season and this is a pivotal period in Frank's career. He must show the supporters and myself during this period that he is worthy of a longer term deal."

Nouble has made 15 appearances for the Sky Blues this term, from which he has scored four goals.
