Hull City sign Michael Bridges and Nicky Forster

Michael Bridges has completed a transfer move from Carlisle United to Hull City tonight on deadline day of the transfer window. Hull have forked out £350,000 for the ex Leeds striker.

Also a deal has just been completed with Hull City splashing out £250,000 in order to bring the striker Nicky Forster from Ipswich Town. Nicky Forster has been signed to help ease the lack of goals after City have found the net only three times from their first five league games. Forster, aged 32, has been handed a two year contract by Hull City.

His importance in the Tigers strike force is emphasized by the player being given the number nine shirt upon his arrival. Forster is expected to play a part in the Tigers next match, a difficult away trip to Birmingham.

Parkinson has been searching for an experienced striker to lead the city frontline and the thirty-two year old striker should fit the bill perfectly. Forster has been a veteran of the Championship for many seasons after spells with Reading and Ipswich and his experience will be valuable as City search for their first Championship victory.
