Hull have signed Portuguese defender Tobias Figueiredo following his release by Nottingham Forest.
The 28-year-old centre-half, who made 28 Sky Bet Championship appearances last season as Forest won promotion to the Premier League, has agreed a two-year contract.
Tigers head coach Shota Arveladze told his club’s official website: “We’ve been looking for a good and strong centre-back and we’re more than happy to have brought Tobias in.
“He knows our league and how to play in the Championship. He’s a solid and smart defender, who is good in position.”
Figueiredo, whose contract at Forest expires on July 1, made a total of 122 appearances in all competitions after arriving at the City Ground from Sporting Lisbon in 2018.
