Tigers complete deal to sign Chelsea’s Hector on loan

Hull City have completed the signing of Michael Hector from Chelsea on a season-long loan.

The 25-year-old centre-back has not made a first-team appearance for Chelsea since a surprise move from Reading two years ago.

Hector spent last season on loan with German club Eintracht Frankfurt and the season before back on loan at Reading.

“When I found out that Hull were interested in taking me on loan, it was an easy decision to make,” he told the Tigers’ website.

“It’s a great challenge for me to come back to England after a season in Germany and try to help this club get back into the Premier League.”

Hull recently signed youngster Ola Aina on loan from the Blues.
