Jim O'Brien has said that he would have signed for Coventry City sooner if they were playing at the Ricoh Arena.
Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, O'Brien who was a free agent said: “It was a long decision and I exhausted every option but, in the end, it was the best one for me and my family,”
“The problems didn’t put me off but any time I spoke to the manager or my agent I was asking about the stadium and stuff. And if I had heard about them getting back in to the stadium I would have probably signed a bit sooner.
“I was always asking but it never really stood in my way once I came down and looked at the training ground and met the staff who can’t really do enough for you anyway.
“I played at the Ricoh a couple of years ago. We were caught in traffic and arrived at the stadium at 2.20pm and went straight out onto the pitch. We got beat that day as well.
“But obviously that’s the goal, to get back there and hopefully if we have a successful start to the season then talks might move further along.”
