Hull City have completed the signing of defender Tommy Elphick on a season-long loan deal from Aston Villa.

The 30-year-old joined Villa in 2016 and made 26 appearances during his debut campaign for the club, but he soon fell out of favour and spent the second half of last season on loan at Reading.

Elphick has featured in two games so far this season for Villa - including a goalscoring performance against Hull - but he will now spend the remainder of the campaign with the Tigers.

Elphick could make his debut for the Tigers during Saturday's Championship clash with Derby County.
