Hull City have signed Manchester City striker Liam Delap on a season-long loan deal.
The England under 21 international joins the Tigers having had two spells in the Championship last season with Stoke City and Preston North End.
“I’m absolutely delighted that Liam is coming here. We’ve fought off a lot of competition from other Championship clubs and clubs around Europe. He’s someone I’ve known and been aware of for a long time,” Hull manager Liam Rosenior said, speaking to the club’s website.
“Liam completely fits into the way we play. He’s got outstanding physical attributes and is a great finisher. He’s got freak speed, is aggressive and can run in behind, which is one of the areas we wanted to address. He’s someone the fans will really enjoy watching.
“He’s had an amazing education and upbringing at Manchester City. In the right team that plays to his strengths, he can be a real asset and I believe he’ll be a real asset for us moving forward.”
Delap has made six appearances for Manchester City across all competitions and he is the son of former Republic of Ireland international Rory Delap.
