Premier League newcomers Hull City have announced the signing of midfielder Elliot Stroud from Swedish club Mjällby. The 24-year-old Sweden international has penned a four-year deal with the Tigers, with an option to extend his stay in northeast England for an additional season.
"I'm incredibly happy and extremely excited to get started here. When I first heard they were interested in me, it was the only thing I wanted to do. I spoke with the chairman and got an even better understanding of the club and everything surrounding it. I have personal aspirations to play at the highest possible level. When an opportunity like this arises, it's not something you take lightly. Being here at Hull is a very exciting prospect," the Swedish player stated, as quoted by Hull City's official website.
