Coventry City have signed Sweden international goalkeeper Oliver Dovin from Hammarby for an undisclosed fee.

Dovin, 22, has signed a four-year deal. He is London-born of a Swedish mother, moved to Sweden as a baby and has two full caps, having previously represented his country at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 levels.

With two first-team keepers already at the club, in Ben Wilson and Brad Collins, the arrival of Dovin is sure to increase speculation that one of those two will leave the Sky Blues.

Coventry manager Mark Robins said: “Oliver is a highly-rated goalkeeper whose progress we have followed for some time, and he will add further quality and competition to our goalkeeping group.

“He is a strong physical presence in goal, a good shot stopper and able to distribute the ball well too."
