Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton has completed a season-long loan move to Championship side Hull City.
The 20-year-old, who signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool in January and has already made nine appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side, now joins Hull City as their 10th summer signing.
Morton impressed during his previous loan spell at Blackburn Rovers last season, where he played a total of 46 games. He started 30 Championship matches and contributed four assists during his time at the club.
Head coach Liam Rosenior said: “For us to capture a player of Tyler’s pedigree and potential, again fighting off a lot of competition, I’m absolutely over the moon.
“He played at a high level last season in a team in Blackburn that just missed out on the play-offs. He’s played in the Champions League, Premier League and in cup games for a top club in Liverpool.
“The fact Liverpool and Tyler believe Hull City is the best place for him to continue his development says a lot about the direction we’re moving in as a football club.
“Tyler has everything I like in a midfield player. He’s brave and has got unbelievable technical quality, which is important for the way we play. He can see a pass, has a great football brain, understands the game with his defensive positioning and is aggressive.
“He was our first choice and we’ve had to wait a long time to get it done but I’m delighted it’s finally happened.”
