Michael Dawson joins Hull City

Michael Dawson has joined Hull City from Tottenham Hotspur on a three-year deal.

The centre-back, who will wear the number 21 for his new club, had been linked with a number of suitors after it became clear that his future was not with Spurs.

However, Hull have won the race for the 30-year-old after agreeing a price with Tottenham.

"I would like to say thank you to everyone at the club, including the supporters. We have enjoyed some incredible moments together and I hope the club continues to move forward in the future."

Dawson joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in 2005.
