Hull City have signed Liverpool youngster Lee Peltier on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old utility player has made four first-team appearances for the Premiership club and will provide competition in both midfield and defence at the KC Stadium.

Meanwhile, Tigers boss Phil Brown has challenged his side to continue their recent resurgence against Sunderland on Saturday.

City have won their last two games and Brown has called for more of the same against the promotion-chasing Black Cats.

"We go into it with renewed confidence. Spirits are high on the training ground and after the win on Tuesday night," said Brown.

"But the challenge now is to make it three wins on the bounce. We've not had that this season and that is one of the reasons we're at the bottom end of the division."
