Head coach Frank Lampard told the club’s official website: “I would like to welcome Matt to Coventry City.

“He is a player that I have really admired for a long time and his fantastic all-round midfield qualities and experience will be a great addition to the team.”

Former Swansea captain Grimes, who has Premier League experience with the Swans and has missed only four Sky Bet Championship games in the last six-and-a-half seasons, has made 467 career appearances and scored 25 goals.
