Hull City sign George Boyd

Hull City have completed the signing of George Boyd from Peterborough United on a permanent basis.

The 27-year-old joined the Tigers in February after a proposed move to Nottingham Forest had fallen through because of medical issues.

He went on to score four times from 13 outings as Steve Bruce's side gained promotion to the Premier League.

That was enough to convince Bruce to offer him a permanent deal and he has now signed on at the KC Stadium for a further two years.

Boyd's contract with Peterborough had been due to expire next month.
