Former Reading winger Stephen Hunt is delighted with his move to Hull City.

Hunt put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal with the Tigers on Thursday morning, bringing to an end four years with Reading and he can't wait to get started in a black and amber shirt.

"I'm delighted to be here because I have known about Hull City's interest in me for a while," Hunt told Hull's website.

"I just can't wait to get started. There were a few other teams in the pipeline but once the bid had been accepted by Reading, there was no way I wanted to hang about and I was delighted to come here.

"I've spoken a lot with Kevin Kilbane about Hull and also with Michael Turner, who I know from my time at Brentford. Kevin came here last winter and he speaks very highly of the place. Because of the kind of lad he is, I know I can trust what he says.

"This is the Premier League and it's where I want to be. The Club is talking about signing a player from Real Madrid, so the ambition is obviously there.

"But all I can concentrate on is myself and getting off to a good start. Hopefully I can improve as a player here."
