Burnley midfielder Scott Twine has joined Championship club Hull City on a season-long loan.
Twine joined the Clarets from MK Dons last summer and made 18 appearances during his first season at Turf Moor.
The 24-year-old scored three times including a memorable free kick to secure a 2-1 victory against West Brom.
He will now spend the season at the MKM Stadium as the Yorkshire club aim to build on last season’s 15th-place finish.
Hull boss Liam Rosenior says the club managed to get the deal over the line despite competition from other Championship sides.
He told the club website: “I’m absolutely delighted that Scott has joined us. We’ve beaten off competition from many top clubs in the Championship to secure his signature, based on our identity and style of play.
“This signing shows the ambition we have and that we want the best players we can get. He’s someone we’ve waited for but he’s worth the wait.
“He’s the perfect type of player I want in my team because he completely fits our philosophy. What I love about Scott is his ability to finish actions – to take shots, convert chances and he’s deadly from set-plays. His personality will completely fit into the group.
“He’s fantastic technically, can take the ball between lines, has got amazing movement, makes intelligent runs, presses well and likes to link and combine with other players.
“Scott can play in multiple positions and most importantly, he has end product – an area we identified as one we needed to improve on for this season.”
Hull ran out 4-2 winners against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend after a hat trick from Ozan Tufan. Aaron Connolly also managed to get on the scoresheet against the Owls.
Rosenior’s side continue their league campaign with a trip to Ewood Park to take on Blackburn Rovers this weekend.
