Hull City star Kyle Joseph praised the Tigers dressing room, saying it was the most enjoyable he's ever been a part of after his 18-month stay at the MKM Stadium came to an end.
Joseph's on-off move to Middlesbrough was finally completed on Friday, with the striker becoming the latest player to wave goodbye to East Yorkshire, having played a key role in securing promotion to the Premier League.
The 24-year-old followed Ivor Pandur and Akin Famewo in moving on in recent days, linking up with the Boro, who were beaten by the Tigers in the play-off final at Wembley.
Signed from Blackpool for £2.5m in January 2025, Joseph was instrumental in Sergej Jakirovic and his squad masterminding a sensational promotion, but he returns to the Championship with the Teesside outfit.
