Hull City have spending restrictions reduced

Hull City have taken four points from their opening two Championship games this season

Hull City have had their three-window transfer fee restrictions reduced to two, with the third suspended, after appealing against the decision.

The Championship side were handed the punishment by the English Football League in July after making late payments to other clubs.

They will now be able to pay a fee for a player in next summer's transfer window.

However, the suspended window will be triggered if the club defaults on payments by a further seven days.

"As we have demonstrated in recent weeks, we still remain able to sign players – either on loan or as free agents," Hull said in a statement.

"We want to take this moment to sincerely thank all our fans for their unwavering support during these challenging times."

The Tigers have started the league season with four points from two games.
