Hull City have completed the signing of West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long on a three-and-a-half-year deal for a fee of around £7m.
The Republic of Ireland international was assumed to be closing in on the transfer having had a medical with the Tigers yesterday.<br />
The 26-year-old revealed his happiness at joining the club and was keen to impress the Hull City faithful following the transfer.<br />
"It's a club that's on the up, and I'm delighted to be a part of that." Long was quoted saying on Hull's official Twitter page. "I've met all of the lads today, and everybody seems really friendly.<br />
"I'm lucky that I've had a few inside informers letting me know what it's like up here. They all love it up here, and they're excited by what is happening at the club.<br />
"After meeting the manager, and respecting what he's done in the game, I was happy to start a new part of my career here."<br />
Shane Long spent three seasons with the Baggies scoring 22 goals in the process.
