Coventry City have secured the signing of 22-year-old Swedish goalkeeper Oliver Dovin from Hammarby. Dovin has agreed to a four-year contract with the Sky Blues.
Dovin made his senior debut for Hammarby in December 2020 and has since accumulated 84 appearances, achieving 28 clean sheets.
His performance helped his team clinch the Swedish domestic cup in 2021 and compete in the 2021/22 UEFA Conference League Play-Offs. By 2022, he became the first-choice keeper and earned his first full international cap.
On the international stage, Dovin debuted for Sweden’s senior team in January 2023 against Iceland and played again this year against Estonia, following his youth-level experience.
Manager Mark Robins expressed his enthusiasm about the new signing, stating, “We’re very pleased to welcome Oliver to Coventry City. He 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.”
Robins highlighted Dovin’s skills, adding, “He is a strong physical presence in goal, a good shot stopper, and able to distribute the ball well too. We look forward to him joining us on our return from the pre-season tour next week and working with him going forward.”
