Super Eagles midfielder, Frank Onyeka, has said that he aims to get Coventry City back in the Premier League after joining on loan from Brentford.

On Monday, Coventry, managed by retired England international, Frank Lampard, announced the signing of Onyeka on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season.

“Coventry City are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Frank Onyeka on loan from Premier League side Brentford. The deal also includes an obligation to buy should the club achieve promotion to the Premier League,” the Sky Blues wrote.

Last season, he enjoyed a loan spell in the Bundesliga with Augsburg where he played 31 times in Germany’s top division.

Onyeka is now looking forward to his new challenge with the Sky Blues and on moving to CV6, he said: “I’m very happy to be here. I’m a strong midfielder, I’m a winner and I always want to fight for my teammates.

“My aim is to give 100 per cent, bring my experience and help the team get promoted to the Premier League and bring glory to the city again. I’m very excited to get going and I’m ready to give my all for Coventry.”

Onyeka is set to make his competitive debut when Coventry face Oxford United in a Sky Bet Championship game at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday.

The 28-year-old has plied his trade at the G-Tech Community Stadium since the summer of 2021 and made 75 Premier League appearances for the Bees, 87 in all competitions.

Onyeka helped establish the West London club in the top flight and played a key role in their ninth-place finish in the 2022-23 season, their highest in the Premier League era.

The powerful midfielder also has 41 caps for Nigeria and starred in the recent 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, where the Super Eagles finished third.

Before that, the Nigerian had begun his career in Denmark with Midtjylland, the club Victor Torp also began his professional career at.

Onyeka’s time with the Danish outfit was very successful as he was part of the team that won two Danish Superliga titles, the 2018-19 Danish Cup and he also played in both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
