Coventry City have completed the permanent signing of goalkeeper Dan Bentley from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 33-year-old has penned a two-year contract with the Sky Blues.

Bentley departs Molineux after three and a half years, having made 17 senior appearances since his arrival in January 2023. Frank Lampard moved to secure the shot-stopper following his involvement in Wolves' opening two fixtures of the 2026-27 season across the Championship and Carabao Cup.

Coventry City is a fantastic club and I'm really happy to get this deal over the line. I will bring a lot of experience. I'm a senior player with good leadership qualities and I'm someone who has really high standards. Dan Bentley

The veteran keeper is expected to provide crucial depth and leadership to the dressing room. He will now compete with first-choice stopper Carl Rushworth for the gloves as the club prepares for a demanding top-flight return.

Bentley brings extensive experience from his time at Southend United, Brentford, and Bristol City, where he earned Player of the Year honours in 2021. His arrival comes at a vital time, with Coventry set to kick off their Premier League campaign against reigning champions Arsenal this Friday.
