Hull to pay Plymouth additional £500,000

Hull City have had to pay Plymouth Argyle an extra instalment of £500,000 after City avoided relegation from the Premier League.

The Tigers signed Plymouth Winger Peter Halmosi for an initial £2 million last summer but with an additional sum of £500,000 due should Phil Brown’s side avoid an immediate return to the Coca-Cola Championship.

As a result of Sunday’s events, Plymough have now received a timely cash boost.

Despite his hefty price tag, Halmosi has only made four starts and fourteen substitute appearances since moving from Plymouth. He has remained a regular in the Hungary international side but has rarely been favoured under Phil Brown.

Halmosi’s only goal came in the FA Cup fifth round against Sheffield United during the 2-1 win at the KC Stadium.
