Hull sign Danny Graham on loan from Sunderland

Sunderland v Southampton - Premier League

Danny Graham

Danny Graham has been signed by newly promoted side Hull City. The move is seen as a boost for Hull manager Steve Bruce, who saw a move for Burnley’s Charlie Austin get stalled this summer.

Graham scored 12 goals for Swansea during their first campaign in the top flight in 2011/12 and added a further three goals the following year before his move to the Stadium of Light in January.

Graham has previously played for clubs like Middlesbrough, Carlisle and Watford and enjoyed loan spells at Darlington, Derby, Leeds and Blackpool.

Graham told the Tigers’ official website: “It’s great to come to a club where everybody is on a high after winning promotion and I’ve only heard good things about this club.

“It’s exactly the same as when I joined Swansea a couple of years ago, a club coming up into the Premier League. The stories for two clubs are very similar.

“I know I’m coming to a good club with a top manager, a fantastic stadium and some very good players.”

The 27-year-old former Swansea striker joined the Sunderland for a £5million deal but so far he failed to score in 13 appearances.
