Nigeria national team defender Semi Ajayi has expressed his delight after making the switch to Sky Bet Championship side Hull City.

Ajayi’s move to the Tigers was made official on Thursday. The 31-year-old put pen to paper on two-year contract, arriving on a free transfer.

Speaking on the club’s official website, Ajayi said Hull City’s vision inspired him to move to the club.

“I’m really excited. I spoke to the sporting director (Jared Dublin) and head of recruitment (Martin Hodge), and they sold me on the vision of the club and the plans for this season.”

The centre-back was released by West Bromwich Albion last month, where he spent six years. He was part of the West Brom team that gained promotion to the Premier League following the 2019/20 season.
