Last updated : 24 May 2017 By CNS Sport

Coventry City will sign Liam O'Brien from Portsmouth as a permanent player on July 1st.

The 25 year old keeper, born in Ruislip and a former England U19 international, is at the end of his contract with Pompey and will sign a two year deal on July 1st.

Speaking about O'Brien, who has played for Portsmouth in two spells, Barnet, Brentford and Dagenham & Redbridge, City boss Mark Robins told the Coventry Observer: “Liam is a quality goalkeeper, who we will be working hard with to maximise his potential.

“We are building a club, not just a team, for our short term and long term aims. We need players for all levels of the club, with the ability to fight for a first team spot and to push everyone else in the squad further.

“Liam is a good age and has the attitude which we need at this club, and we’re looking forward to starting work with him.”
