Hull have completed the signings of Stephen Hunt and Kamel Ghilas.

FOOTBALL 2008-09 Championship Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt - 0

Reading confirmed earlier this week they had agreed an undisclosed fee for the transfer of 28-year-old Republic of Ireland winger Hunt (pictured), who has signed a four-year deal with the Tigers.

Celta Vigo striker Ghilas, a 25-year-old Algeria international and former Blackburn target, has also signed a four-year deal with the Premier League side.

The pair take Hull's number of summer signings to four following the captures of Seyi Olofinjana and Jozy Altidore last week.

Manager Phil Brown had previously endured a frustrating close season in the transfer market with moves for players including Michael Owen, Fraizer Campbell, Marc-Antoine Fortune, Daryl Murphy and Habib Beye falling through.

The Tigers start their Premier League campaign on Saturday at Chelsea.

  1. 2 days now and still haven't stopped laughin!! What­ a deal for the Royals though think the bigheaded little­ pikey will do well for Hull, and with his caravan in­ the carpark he will be able to do card readings waiting­ for his place on the bench!!

    Good luck Shunty!

  2. I hope for Hulls sake that Hunt does play as he can. He­ went off the boil with Reading last season and­ didn't play well at all. He can be a very arrogant­ player, but he can set a game alight at times. I wish­ him well with Hull, he might play better now he has­ got his wish to be in the Premiership again, he sulked­ a lot last season because Reading wouldn't let him­ go for peanuts.

    He should fit in well - dirty club for dirty players­ and the manager is a lier - lets hope they get­ relegated like they should have done last season.
