LONDON (Reuters) - Former English Premier League club Coventry City are returning home to the Ricoh Arena after more than a year in exile, the League One (third division) side said on Thursday.

Coventry, who moved into the brand new 32,000-seater stadium in 2005 after more than 100 years at Highfield Road, have played 34 miles away in Northampton since August 2013 because of a financial row between the club and the owners of the stadium Arena Coventry Limited (ACL).
