Hull City have confirmed that they have signed winger Hakeeb Adelakun on loan from Bristol City.<\/p>\n
He is ninth player<\/a> to join the Tigers this summer, as they look to make a swift return to the Championship.<\/p>\n Despite failing to make an impact at Championship level with the Robins, the 24-year-old has enjoyed success at League One level.<\/p>\n Last season saw him win promotion while on loan with Rotherham United, who earned automatic promotion via points-per-game. Adelakun made nine appearances for the Millers, but failed to score during his time with the club.<\/p>\n He joined Bristol City after a successful season in League One with previous club Scunthorpe United. His five goals and 12 assists helped the Iron to a fifth-placed finish.<\/p>\n However, the 24-year-old has failed to make much of an impact since making the move to Ashton Gate; he has just five appearances to his name after joining in 2018.<\/p>\n Speaking about his new signing to the official Hull City website<\/a>, manager Grant McCann said: “Hakeeb is a player I\u2019ve admired for a few years now.<\/p>\n \u201cSeeing him at Scunthorpe, and managing against him, he was always a threat for them. He had a tremendous time there, in terms of goals and assists.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s coming here on the back of knowing what it\u2019s like to get promoted, and what it\u2019s like to challenge. He was in a successful Scunthorpe team that twice just missed out on promotion. He went to Rotherham last season and they got promoted. He knows what it takes.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a really, really good signing. What I like about him as well is he\u2019s flexible. He can play across the front three, as a number 10, and he brings us pace and power, which I feel can be a big factor for us this season.\u201d<\/p>\n The Tigers are currently third in League One after winning their opening two league games.<\/p>\n Main PhotoHakeeb Adelakun Joins Hull City<\/h2>\n
