Marc Pugh joins Hull on loan

Marc Pugh has joined Sky Bet Championship side Hull City on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Pugh, who is in his ninth season with the Cherries, has linked up with Nigel Adkins' squad as the Tigers bid to reclaim a place in the Premier League.

Relegated from the top flight in 2017, in-form Hull are unbeaten in their past 10 games in the Championship having won seven and drawn three.

Pugh has made three appearances for the Cherries this season, all of which have come in cup competitions.

He netted a consolation goal as Eddie Howe’s team slipped out of the FA Cup at the hands of Brighton earlier this month and also played against Blackburn and Norwich in the Carabao Cup.

The 31-year-old winger could feature when Hull visit Blackburn in the Championship on Saturday.
