Hull City have set a deadline of Friday for announcing a new manager to replace Phil Brown at the KC Stadium.

Hull City News: Wolves Seal Stephen Hunt Signing For Undisclosed Fee

Wolves have completed the signing of Hull City and Republic Of Ireland winger Stephen Hunt. The transfer was completed over the weekend after Hunt had completed his medical and he has put pen to paper on a three year deal with a fee rumoured to be around £3.5 million. The transfer brings to a close Wolves' long pursuit of Hunt having failed with three bids during the January transfer window. Hunt is the second Hull City player to join Wolves back in the Premier League following Steven Mouyokolo's move to Molineux on Friday. Hull are believed to have recieved around £5.5 million for the pair as was reported by Hull City AFC Central here last Thursday. Hull City AFC Central would like to thank Stephen Hunt for his time at Hull and wish him all the best at his new club.
Hunt had this to say about his stint at Hull City:

"I'd like to say thanks to Hull for being so understanding with the deal. I had a good year there and I'd like to wish them all the best,"

"I scored a few goals there and had a good tally of six up until February. I was gutted to miss the last two or three months of the season.

"I was really enjoying my football and I'd like to wish Hull all the best."

Hull City News: Wolves On Brink Of £3 Million Stephen Hunt Transfer

Wolves are reported to be putting the finishing touches to a deal that will see Hull City star Stephen Hunt join Steven Mouyokolo at Molineux next season. Mouyokolo arrived at Wolves yesterday and Hunt is expected to follow him in a £5.5 million double swoop just as Hull City AFC Central had reported here on Thursday. Negotiations took much longer than usual as a compromise had to be reached because Wolves were not prepared to pay anything near Hull's valuation.

Hull City AFC Central will be the first to let you know if/when the Hunt deal is confirmed 100%
