NOAH Wadsworth has been signed by Hull.

The former City defender has earned a one-year contract to join the Championship side's under-21 squad.

Wadsworth, released by the Bantams after two sub appearances, has already played as a trialist for the Tigers age-group team in their 4-3 win at Cardiff in the final game of last term.

Hull's lead professional development league phase coach Conor Sellars knows the 19-year-old well from his own time in the Valley Parade academy.

The former City joint-boss told Hull's website: "I am thrilled to welcome Noah to the club. During his trial, he impressed our staff, and we are excited to work closely with him moving forward.

"We had to act quickly to secure Noah, knowing other clubs were interested due to his impressive history, including his appearances in a League Two first team last season, at such a young age.

"He brings undeniable quality to our team, being both-footed, highly versatile, and an excellent athlete."
