Hull City have snapped up Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton.

Morton has moved to the Tigers on-loan for the season.

Hull manager Liam Rosenior said: “For us to capture a player of Tyler's pedigree and potential, again fighting off a lot of competition, I'm absolutely over the moon.

“He played at a high level last season in a team in Blackburn that just missed out on the play-offs. He's played in the Champions League, Premier League and in cup games for a top club in Liverpool.

“The fact Liverpool and Tyler believe Hull City is the best place for him to continue his development says a lot about the direction we're moving in as a football club.

“Tyler has everything I like in a midfield player. He's brave and has got unbelievable technical quality, which is important for the way we play. He can see a pass, has a great football brain, understands the game with his defensive positioning and is aggressive.

“He was our first choice and we've had to wait a long time to get it done but I'm delighted it's finally happened."
