Coventry City captain impressed with Frank Onyeka's input
Speaking ahead of Coventry's clash against AFC Wrexham tomorrow, the former Leeds United midfielder admitted Onyeka came in to help the club through a period of ‘wobble'.
“He's been a big addition for us, holding down the middle alongside Jack [Rudoni],” the 30-year-old said in the pre-game conference.
“When we went through a little bit of a mid-season blip in form, when you can bring someone in that has got so much experience, and such a high quality player, it gives the whole place a big boost
“He's been fantastic. You've seen his performances and the energy he gives everyone. He has been a really big part of it,” Matt Grimes concluded.
The AFCON 2023 silver medallist will be playing in the English Premier League with Coventry next season, joining permanently after his initial loan deal.
