The Tigers have announced the 22-year-old winger, son of former England international Paul Ince, has agreed a two-year deal at the KC Stadium.

Compensation with Blackpool has yet to be agreed and a tribunal may be necessary if a figure cannot be settled upon.

A statement from Hull City said: “We are delighted to confirm Tom Ince as our third major signing of the summer.”

Jake Livermore made a permanent move from Tottenham earlier this summer, while City also secured Robert Snodgrass for a club record fee of £6.5m.

To be given an opportunity to play again in the Premier League, it's a fantastic opportunity for me
Hull statement

Ince admitted the prospect of working with Bruce was a key factor in his decision to join the Tigers.

He said: "I've known Steve Bruce on a personal and professional level for quite some years, being in a former team with my old man.

"I also know a lot of the players so it felt like home to me. I didn't feel like a stranger walking into the dressing room, into the ground.

"To be given an opportunity to play again in the Premier League, it's a fantastic opportunity for me and one that I'm relishing."
