Injuries restricted Semi Ajayi to 15 league appearances last season
- Published
Hull City have signed West Brom defender Semi Ajayi on a two-year deal.
The 31-year-old Nigeria international will join the Tigers on 1 July when his contract with the Baggies expires.
He made 170 league appearances in six seasons with The Hawthorns side and helped them win promotion to the Premier League in 2019-20.
Meanwhile, Hull have terminated the contract of forward Joao Pedro by mutual consent, one month after exercising an option to extend his deal by a year.
The 33-year-old one-cap Italy international joined the Tigers as a free agent until the end of the season in September and scored six goals in 35 league appearances.
The Championship side took up the opportunity to keep him at the club for a further year but they are now letting him go to "pursue other opportunities".
