Hull City have announced signing Ahmed Elmohamady from Sunderland on a three-year deal. The 25-year-old completed his move to the newly-promoted Premier League side for an undisclosed fee, following a season-long loan at the KC Stadium. "It feels great to be here permanently, especially after what happened here last season," Elmohamady told Hull's website. "It was a great year and I thoroughly enjoyed playing for this club. Everything about it was great – the players, the staff, the fans – and I am delighted to be here again. "It's going to be great to play in the Premier League again, especially with Hull City, and I am very much looking forward to the new season. "Moving here was an easy decision to make. The fans are fantastic and it will be enjoyable to play in front of them in the Premier League." Bruce impact Elmo revealed that it was manager Steve Bruce who encouraged him to make his Hull switch permanent. "The manager was the one who brought me over from Egypt to play for Sunderland and now he has brought me here," added Elmohamady. "I really enjoy playing for him and I look forward to doing so again now." Hull open their Premier League campaign against Chelsea away on August 17.
