Hull City have completed the signing of Curtis Davies from Birmingham City on a three-year contract.
The 28-year-old, who joined Birmingham from Aston Villa in 2011, is reported to have cost the newly-promoted Premier League club in the region of £2.25m.
"I feel I'm joining at an exciting time and the chance to play in the Premier League was also a huge attraction," Davies told the club's official website.
"It's something I've been lucky enough to do before and I wanted to get back."
Davies began his career at Luton Town.
