Ireland international Stephen Hunt has returned to the Premier League after completing his move from League Championship club Reading to Hull on Thursday.
The 29-year-old winger had two seasons in the top flight with Reading, which was relegated in 2008.
Hull, which recently took United States international striker Jozy Altidore on loan from Villarreal, is also expected to announce the arrival of Algerian striker Kamel Ghilas from Celta Vigo.
