Coventry City sign Freddie Sears on loan from West Ham

Coventry City have drafted in striker Freddie Sears on loan from West Ham until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old goes into the squad for Saturday's match against Queens Park Rangers at the Ricoh Arena.

Sears arrived at Upton Park in 2007 and has scored one goal in 25 league appearances for the Hammers.

The forward, who plays for England at Under-21 level, turned out 19 times for fellow Championship side Crystal Palace earlier this season.
