Hull City midfielder Ahmed Elmohamady has admitted that he is delighted to have signed a new three-year contract with the club.

Elmohamady made 51 appearances in all competitions last season as the Tigers won promotion to the Premier League, and subject to a work permit being granted, he will remain at the KC Stadium until 2019.

The 28-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm delighted and pleased to be here for another three years.

"I've been here for four years now and it has been a great four years. My mind is now on the next three years with this club and the fans, and the big challenge ahead.

"We're back in the Premier League now and we can't wait to get started again."

The Egyptian international has made 169 appearances for Hull during a one-year loan spell and three-year permanent stay at the club.
