Thomas Ince is excited about his move to Hull City.

Ince joins a squad that is looking to build on their exploits of last season and the former Blackpool man is confident his new club is building a squad to do just that.

"To be part of a squad of this quality is exciting and there could be some more new faces coming in too," said Ince to the Hull website.

"There is a really good blend here with youth and experience and everybody is pushing in the right direction. The project here is for the club to push on, become a better team and get higher up the table.

"We need to get a strong pre-season under our belts, get ourselves fit and ready and relish the season ahead.

"This is a club that is starting to make a name for itself in the Premier League after a fantastic season in 2013/14.

"I'm over the moon to be part of a project that is moving forward. I know the manager likes to play attractive football and I'm relishing the challenge of trying to help improve the team."
