Hull City have agreed a deal to sign Bolton Wanderers striker Jonathan Walters for an initial fee of £50,000 and the finalities of the deal are expected to be rubber stamped by next Tuesday.

Walters played a dozen games for the Reds this season without scoring a goal.

Walters 20, had a successful loan spell with the Tigers last season and the Hull manager Peter Taylor had been keen to recruit the Republic of Ireland U21 star for a second spell to aid their promotion push from Division Three and now it seems he has got his man.

"We're delighted to have him back, He was perfect for us last season and, because he is only 20, is only going to improve. I know people are going to have a go at us for spending a few more bob for a Third Division side, but nine times out of 10, the players we have brought in are under 21. Jon is another one who is very much one for the future." Taylor said.
