Coventry City terminate Aiyegbeni’s contract — barely two months later

Coventry City have cancelled the contract of former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

The League One strugglers announced the termination on their official website on Wednesday.

“The club can announce that former Everton striker Yakubu has had his contract mutually terminated, with immediate effect,” ccfc.co.uk stated.

“Yakubu made three appearances for the Sky Blues, before suffering a hamstring injury against Swindon Town.

“The club would like to wish Yakubu all the best for the future.”

Yakubu, 34, had signed for Coventry in February on a season-long contract.

Coventry won the EFL Trophy on Sunday, but they are at the bottom of the League One table and are bound for League Two next season.
