Paul McShane has completed his move to Hull City Football Club.

It was revealed last week that the Tigers were in talks with Sunderland about the player, who enjoyed a loan spell at the KC Stadium during the first half of last season.

It has now been confirmed that the Republic of Ireland international has completed a return to Phil Brown’s club, who have paid around £2million for his signature.

McShane has penned a four-year deal with Hull, and the 23-year-old will now hope to make his debut after the international break if he can prove his fitness following a knee problem.
