Hull City have completed the signing of striker Marlon King on a season-long loan from Wigan Athletic.

The 28-year-old only joined the Latics from Watford in January, but scored just once in 15 appearances for Steve Bruce's side.

Bruce told his club's official website: "We wish Marlon all the best. He is a good pro and he made a contribution last season.

"He has worked hard in pre-season and has made an impact, but he has chosen to move on for the time being."

Meanwhile, Tigers chairman, Paul Duffen, is hopeful that his club may be able to re-sign Fraizer Campbell on loan from Manchester United, if the Red Devils do manage to prise Dimitar Berbatov away from Spurs.

Duffen told the Hull Daily Mail: "The first thing I would stress is that it is not for us to be calling Manchester United about Fraizer.

"Manchester United are in no doubts as to our intentions on Fraizer and if Sir Alex Ferguson decides loaning him out again is the right thing to do, I am sure it will be us that he talks to."

Striker Campbell scored 15 goals in 37 appearances for City last season, helping the club gain promotion to the top-flight for the first time in their history.
