Hull City sign Chris Martin on loan from Derby County

Derby County striker Chris Martin has joined Championship rivals Hull City on a season-long loan deal.

Martin has fallen down the pecking order at Pride Park, having not started a game for Derby since December, with new manager Frank Lampard deeming the Scot surplus to requirements.

The 29-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Reading, and he has now secured another temporary move away from Derby, this time for a full season at the KCOM Stadium.
