Hull City has officially announced the signing of goalkeeper Jack Butland from Rangers. The 33-year-old shot-stopper has penned a two-year deal with the Tigers, which includes an option for a further season.
The former England international featured in every one of Rangers' Scottish Premiership matches last season, where the team finished third with 72 points, 10 behind champions and fierce rivals Celtic.
"The challenge is obvious, but it's an exciting one. The Premier League is the best in the world, and for me personally, it's a great opportunity to be on the biggest stage again. I believe this is the level I can play at, and have played at before. As a club, we'll face a huge challenge back in the Premier League, not just to stay up, but to enjoy it and perform as well as we possibly can," Butland stated.
Hull City secured promotion to England's top flight after a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final, marking their return to the Premier League for the first time since the 2016/17 season. Jack Butland has made 87 Premier League appearances for Crystal Palace and Stoke City, keeping 21 clean sheets. He also earned 9 caps for the England national team between 2012 and 2018.
