Eric Lichaj completes move from Nottingham Forest to Hull City

Hull City have completed the signing of defender Eric Lichaj from fellow Championship outfit Nottingham Forest.

The USA international has signed a two-year deal with the Tigers, with the possibility of a 12-month extension should the club exercise the option.

"I'm excited about playing here and I'm looking forward to getting started with pre-season next week," Lichaj told Hull's official website.

"It's a fresh start for me and I want to repay Hull City for the faith that they have shown in me by bringing me here. I'll be working my hardest, as I always do, every day in training and on matchdays."

Hull are said to have fended off competition from several Major League Soccer sides to secure Lichaj's services.
