Michael Hector completes loan move to Hull
Jamaican international Michael Hector has become the latest player to swap Chelsea for Hull.
The Championship side tweeted to confirm the player’s arrival.

Hector will join up with fellow Chelsea youngster Ola Aina at the Tigers, with the club reaping the benefits of new manager Leonid Slutsky’s close friendship with Roman Abramovich.
The 25-year-old spent last season in the Bundesliga, where he impressed whilst on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, who he helped reach the final of the DFB Pokal, but missed out on silverware after losing to Borussia Dortmund.
There was a host of Championship interest in the former Reading defender who was a surprise signing for Chelsea in the summer of 2015.
It looks unlikely that the Jamaican international will ever make the grade at Chelsea, so regular first-team football elsewhere is the chance for him to get his career back on track.
