Coventry City sign defender Ethan Pinnock from Brentford

Coventry City have officially signed Jamaica international centre-back Ethan Pinnock from Brentford. While the fee remains undisclosed, reports suggest the deal is valued at approximately £6 million.

The 33-year-old defender departs Brentford after five years, having made 216 appearances and scored 12 goals for the Bees. Pinnock was instrumental in the club's rise to the Premier League, though he struggled for playing time last season, featuring only eight times across all competitions. He was entering the final year of his contract at the West London side.

I'm really excited to join Coventry City and continue my footballing journey with this great club. After 25 years, the club are back in the Premier League, and I know how much it must mean to everyone involved. Ethan Pinnock

This move is a significant part of Coventry's aggressive recruitment strategy following their return to the top flight. Pinnock represents the club's 10th signing of the summer transfer window and their second defensive addition after the arrival of Aurele Amenda from Eintracht Frankfurt in July.

At Coventry, Pinnock will reunite with former teammate Frank Onyeka, who also made the switch from Brentford this summer. The Sky Blues have now invested over £100 million in their squad during this window as they look to strengthen their depth for the Premier League campaign.
