Harry Maguire: I was desperate to join Hull

Former Sheffield United defender Harry Maguire is excited about his move to Hull City.

Maguire joined the Tigers on a three-year deal, with the Club having the option of a further year, for a fee of £2.5m.

"As soon as I heard of Hull City's interest, I wanted to make the move," he told the club's website.

"Coming here and having the chance to play in the Premier League, it was a no brainer really. It's a great opportunity to come here and it's a fantastic challenge - one that I'm really excited about.

"Obviously I had a great time at Sheffield United, but another season playing in League One is something that didn't really appeal to me.

"I wanted a new challenge and a new opportunity and obviously coming to Hull City provides me with both of those things.

"I know it's going to be a tough challenge but that is exactly what I want.

"It's one of, if not the greatest domestic league in world football, and I want to test myself against the best week in, week out.

"There's no such thing as an easy game at this level and playing Premier League football is something that I'm really looking forward to."
