Official: Hull City Confirm Arrival Of Chelsea Defender On Loan

Championship outfit Hull City continue to do transfer business with Chelsea after announcing the arrival of Todd Kane from the Premier League giants on a season-long loan on Tuesday morning.

It would be recalled that Nigerian duo Ola Aina and Fikayo Tomori as well as Michael Hector spent the entirety of last season on loan at the Tigers before returning to their parent club, Chelsea.

Since signing a professional contract with Chelsea in 2011, Kane has enjoyed loan spells at Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers, Bristol City, Nottingham Forest, NEC Nijmegen, Groningen and Oxford United.

Commenting on the deal, he told Hull City's official webpage : ''I feel privileged to have been given this opportunity at a great club.

''I can’t wait to get playing after speaking to the Head Coach here. He’s told me that this is a young, energetic group of players and I’m looking forward to working in this environment.''

The 24-year-old Kane has been on the books of Chelsea for more than fifteen years.
