Hull City have confirmed the signing of former Portsmouth midfielder Andy Cannon on a two-year deal.
The 25-year-old has departed Fratton Park this summer and had been linked with a move to Bolton Wanderers earlier this summer.
But he has now joined Grant McCann's side, who won promotion to the Championship last season after being crowned League One champions.
McCann said: “Andy is an all-action midfielder who likes to get on the ball and make things happen.
“We like the energy and aggression that he will bring and we’re looking forward to seeing him compete with the likes of Greg Docherty, George Honeyman and Richie Smallwood.
“He is a really good character with a strong winning mentality, and he will fit the dynamics of our changing room nicely whilst also being eager to continue to learn and develop as a player.
"There was a lot of competition for Andy’s signature so we’re delighted that he has chosen to come here and we can’t wait to work with him.”
Central midfield is an area of the pitch where Wanderers are blessed with several options and is arguably the part of the squad where Ian Evatt has the most strength in depth to choose from.
Bolton have brought in Josh Sheehan from Newport County this summer and already have MJ Williams, Kieran Lee, Antoni Sarcevic, George Thomason, Andrew Tutte and Brandon Comley who can play in that area of the pitch on the books.
