Hull City have completed the signing of former West Ham United defender Abdoulaye Faye.

The 34-year-old Senegalese has moved to the KC Stadium on a free transfer after he was released by the Hammers at the end of last season.

"I am very happy to be here and to have signed for Hull City. It is a fresh challenge for me, and one that I am greatly looking forward to," Faye told the club's official website.

"Steve Bruce is a great manager with a fantastic record, and when he spoke to me about his ambitions for the club it was easy for me to make up my mind.

"I spent time watching Hull last season and they played very well. We have plenty of talented young players in the squad, and I think I can complement them with my experience."

Faye has had previous spells in England with Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Stoke City.
