Scotland midfielder Shaun Maloney has joined Hull City from Chicago Fire.
The 32-year-old completed his move to the English Championship side this afternoon and he explained: “This was a very difficult decision to make but one that I felt I needed to make for various reasons.
“I’d like to thank Andrew Hauptman and Frank Yallop for the initial hard work they put into bring me to Chicago in January. Although my time at the club was brief, I feel very fortunate for the experience to play for the Chicago Fire and would like to thank in particular my teammates for the time I spent with them and hope that in the future the club can become successful on the pitch once again.”
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop added: “It’s tough to see a player of his quality leave but you have to take the human aspect of sport into consideration.
“I’m pleased that the club, Andrew Hauptman, myself and Brian Bliss were able to find a solution that worked for all parties involved and I wish Shaun nothing but the best.”
The Scotland star joined Chicago in January from Wigan Athletic.
