Hull City have announced the signing of defender Steven Mouyokolo from French second division side Boulogne on a four-year contract.

The 22-year-old agreed a deal with the Tigers in January, but stayed in France until the end of the season.

Mouyokolo told his new club's official website: "Hull City stayed in the top division and that is a brilliant thing. It has always been my dream to play in England.

"I've been playing football since I was ten and during that time England has always had the best league in the world and everyone wants to play there.

"I have worked and worked and worked, but I still didn't think the chance would come so quickly.

"This is a dream come true and now I have the opportunity that a lot of players in France want.

"I can't wait for the season to start. I can tell this club is like a family where everybody works for each other. I like that mentality."
