Hull City have completed the signing of Australian defender Lucas Herrington, with the 18-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-year deal, according to BBC News. The move marks the Tigers' ninth capture of the summer window.
Herrington described the switch as "a dream come true," pointing to the chance to test himself in the Premier League as a major draw. While Hull currently ply their trade in the Championship, the young defender's remarks suggest he sees the move as a stepping stone towards top-flight football, whether with the club or elsewhere down the line.
The report offers no further detail on Herrington's background or the fee involved, but the length of his contract signals long-term ambitions from both player and club. With Hull continuing to strengthen their squad this summer, Herrington becomes the latest addition as the club looks to build depth ahead of the new season.
