Tottenham Hotspur's Dean Marney bolsters the midfield following his signing for an undisclosed fee.

Verdict
Hull survived the drop with 10 points to spare last season and this campaign is going to be just as tough. In Phil Parkinson, they have a manager who is able to get the best out of unfancied teams and they should do enough to preserve their Championship status next season.
