Stroud, who featured in all four matches for the Swedish national team at the recent World Cup, has signed a four-year deal with "The Tigers," with an option for an additional year. The left-footed player, capable of operating in multiple wide positions, made 109 appearances for Mjällby, scoring 27 goals and providing 14 assists. He played a significant role in their sensational league title win in 2025 and their cup triumph in May of this year.

"I am incredibly happy and excited. When I first heard of the club's interest, it was the only thing I wanted to do. I want to play at the highest possible level, and this is an exciting opportunity. I had a fantastic time at Mjällby; we won the league and the cup, and I felt I was ready for the next chapter in my career.

The World Cup was also a great experience, and I am very proud to have represented Sweden. Playing in the Premier League has been my dream, and I hope we can achieve something magical this new season," Stroud told Hull City's website.
