Stephen Quinn is on the move.

The Republic of Ireland international has left Hull City to join fellow Championship side Reading on a free transfer.

He has signed a three-year contract, with the option of a fourth year.  

Dubliner Quinn departs Hull after 3 years at the KC Stadium. He made 28 appearances for the Tigers in the Premier League last season, as they suffered relegation to the Championship.

He also started for Hull in the FA Cup Final defeat to Arsenal in 2014.

Reading manager Steve Clarke has welcomed the 29 year old:

"Stephen has always caught my eye and, when I knew he was available, I targeted him quite early in the summer. His performances are always of a good standard and he is a talented, industrious, aggressive midfielder who can be influential in games.

"Obviously he has just experienced relegation at Hull City and is desperate to get back to the Premier League as quickly as possible, which can only be good for us.

“He has previous experience of playing in the Championship and was an important member of the Hull City team that gained promotion to the EPL in 2012/13 season.

"Stephen is also a good character who will have a positive effect in our changing room and, just as importantly, on our younger players".

The former St Patrick’s Athletic midfielder has won 13 caps with the Boys in Green and started in Ireland’s Euro 2016 qualifying 1-1 draw away to Germany last October.
