Hull City have completed the signing of Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale on loan until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old played five games for the Tigers in a spell earlier in the campaign but was recalled by the Cottagers due to an injury to Mark Schwarzer.

"It came as a bit of a surprise to everybody here when I was recalled a few weeks ago, but I'm very pleased to be back," Stockdale told the club's official website.

"I can't wait to get going again and help the club to continue our push for promotion."

Steve Bruce's side are second in the Championship, eight points behind leaders Cardiff City after 27 games.
