Hull City have signed left-back Matt Targett on a two-year deal with a club option for a further year, after he left Newcastle United at the end of his contract. The 30-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, committed to Hull following a successful stint in the Championship and adds experience at both Championship and Premier League levels. Targett said the move felt like a no-brainer and spoke of the challenge ahead, noting he could help share his Premier League experience with teammates. The transfer is described as a free move, with Targett bringing depth and stability to Hull’s defense as they prepare for a return to higher competition. He previously played for Southampton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle, and his familiarity with the league was highlighted as a key asset for the club. Hull’s recruitment of Targett is part of a broader summer remodeling as they aim to build a squad capable of sustaining success in the top flight.
