Hull have completed the signing of Republic of Ireland international Stephen Hunt from Reading for what the Championship club have described as "a sizeable fee". The 29-year-old winger, who reportedly carried a ¦pound;3milllion price tag, returns to the Premier League four years after joining Reading on a free transfer from Brentford. Reading director of football Nick Hammond said: "Stephen Hunt has been a very effective player in the four years he has been at Reading Football Club, and given us great value." He added: "He developed enormously as a player here, coming to us on a free transfer and going on to become an established international player. "He has made it known for some time that he was ready for a new challenge, and this is a good move for all three parties. "We wish him all the very best for the future."
