Hull City have completed the signing of former Charlton Athletic midfielder Bryan Hughes.
The 31-year-old was out of contract at The Valley and has agreed a three-year deal with the Tigers after rejecting approaches from Premier League clubs.
"I had a number of teams get in contact with myself, Premiership and Championship sides, so I had a lot to consider really," he told the club's official website.
"I got a phone call off the manager asking what my situation was with Charlton because I was coming to the end of my contract and it all went from there.
"When I spoke to the manager and chairman here, I knew there was only one place this club is going and that's forward.
"The chairman talked about wanting to be in the Premiership in three years, but with the people the club are trying to bring in, who says we can't do that before three years."
