Hull City have made their second signing in the space of a few hours with the capture of 22yr old Spurs midfielder Dean Marney.
This news out of the blue will come as a surprise to the majority of City fans as there had been no clues or rumours about this signing.
Marney has Premiership experience having made his top flight debut for Spurs against Birmingham in 2003 and he went on to make another eleven appearances for the London Club, most notably when he scored 2 goals in their 5-2 victory over Everton in January 2005.
During his Tottenham career he had loan spells at Gillingham, Swindon & QPR and spent the early part of last season on loan at Championship side Norwich City, before a ruptured Achilles Tendon injury forced him to return to White Hart Lane.
He was also capped at England u21 level under ex Tigers boss Peter Taylor.
A cultured midfielder with an eye for goal he can also operate as a wing back, so like Ricketts will give us options across the middle and the backline.
It is understood that Marney has signed a three year contract at the K.C, but as of yet there has been no mention of any fee involved.
Good buy bye bye Marney
He seems like a good buy. I’m suprised Norwih didn’t keep him on loan again as I thought he did well there (when he wasnt injured.) I don’t think he will of cost us too much and if Yeates signs, they should know each others game well and link up together when they play for the Tigers.
you got a decent player there i was hoping he was going to sign for us at plymouth,good luck for the coming season
Nice to see us buying attacking midfield players!
Rumour is we have paid 1 mill for him, 500k up front then rest in installments
Great signing and hope he get us more goals.dont matter how much he costs because he be worth it.
