Hull City have moved to strengthen their defensive options by signing left-back Matt Targett on a free transfer, following his release from Newcastle United at the end of his contract, according to BBC News.
The 30-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at the MKM Stadium, with the club holding an option to extend the agreement by a further year. Targett becomes the latest experienced Premier League figure to drop into the Championship as he begins a new chapter with the Tigers.
Speaking about the move, Targett admitted the decision was straightforward, describing it as "a no-brainer" to join Hull. However, he was also candid about the size of the task ahead, acknowledging that he expects a "massive challenge" as he adapts to life at his new club.
Hull will be hoping Targett's top-flight experience helps bolster their squad as they look to push for promotion back to the Premier League this season.
