Hull City have signed Sparta Prague defender Ondrej Mazuch for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.

The 28-year-old Czech Republic international has three caps and had been on trial with the Tigers.

He could make his competitive debut against Aston Villa on Saturday, 5 August.

"Of course I am very happy to sign the contract with Hull because it has always been my dream to play in England," he told the club website.

The centre-back has been with Hull during their pre-season training camp in Portugal and played in their 1-0 friendly win over Benfica.
