Former Wigan Athletic fullback Maynor Figueroa admits he chose Hull City because of the presence of manager Steve Bruce.
The pair previously worked together at the DW.
"When the team were playing the final few games in the Championship, I paid close attention to the results because I wanted Steve to achieve promotion," said the Honduras international.
"I was happy for him to earn the success. He's a great manager, and I'm looking forward to working with him."
