'I'm happy to get back home with my family and be playing in the Championship again. It's lit a fire in my belly and I'm excited to get going back in England.
'The manager was familiar with me from last season and eager to get me in, which was massive to see how much he wanted me. Hopefully, I can repay him and bring the performances he hopes I can.
'John Egan spoke so highly of the club, the lads and all the staff. John said the fanbase is amazing and it's a good place to play, which I knew anyway from when I've played here.
'I'm looking forward to playing with John again and Regan (Slater), who was a bit younger when I was at Sheffield United, but he's blossomed into a top player.
'I told Ozan (Tufan) I might be coming to Hull; he was really happy for me and spoke so highly of the club.
'The impression the manager has given me, the way John spoke about the team and how the manager wants to play has really ignited something in me.
'I hope I can help the team with my experience and leadership. I can run, tackle, pass, play as an eight or a six. I'm a hard-working player and I'll give my all.
'I'm excited to come here and play and super eager to get going.'

Sergej Jakirovic thrilled with Oli McBurnie's impact at Hull
McBurnie, who signed for the Tigers as a free agent two weeks ago, put the gloss on a fine individual performance when he calmly found the bottom-left corner in second-half stoppage time. Jakirovic said: 'That was his second goal in his second game and two assists, I think. 'He was from the beginning our first wish (in the transfer window). He was not with us at the first weeks this summer, but he can run and knows the very league very well. 'He is massive for us. He has experience and quality and it's very promising for us.' Hull, still awaiting news from an appeal against a transfer embargo which means they are unable to pay a fee for a player until January 2027, charged into the lead through Joe Gelhardt's crafty near-post strike after two minutes. But they were pegged back soon afterwards when Will Lankshear hit a fine half-volley past an unsighted Ivor Pandur. Hull restored their advantage after 20 minutes when Matt Crooks cashed in on McBurnie's wise assist from inside the penalty box. Oxford once again equalised when Cameron Brannagan let fly with a volley six minutes later before McBurnie emerged the matchwinner in stoppage time. Jakirovic said: 'I'm very happy because of the three points. I think we played a very, very good game. 'We started the game very well and had a very good chance to make it 2-0. But their goals, I was very angry – they were very cheap goals. 'After that I think we controlled everything – even though they changed the system. 'We believed to the end. We tried everything (to score a winning goal), so this is a very big win for us.' Oxford have lost their first two Championship games of the season, but manager Gary Rowett was more deflated by such a late concession. Rowett said: 'It's always going to sting a little more when you get into that position. 'Maybe we didn't deserve to go in level at half-time as they could have perhaps scored more goals before the break. 'After the break I felt we weathered the storm after we made a change of formation. 'But, overall, certainly in the first half, Hull were much better than us and probably deserved to win the game. 'I would have expected us to have seen the game out for a scruffy draw. 'We felt maybe Hull's frustration would allow us to create a few moments, but to concede like that so late is a bit sickening. 'Hull caused us a lot of problems with their moments but when you get a bit more stability as a team it will help. 'This division is about those little moments of quality which can win you tight games.'

David Gray demands ‘patience' for record Hibernian signing Thibault Klidje
The 24-year-old Togo forward was pitched in after being restricted to four substitute appearances since his seven-figure transfer from Swiss side Luzern earlier this summer. Klidje capped what Gray described as an 'excellent' performance by glancing home a 43rd-minute header before substitute Josh Mulligan's stunning late strike secured victory and set up a quarter-final trip to Rangers next month. 'I'm delighted for Thibault getting his goal,' said the manager. 'Bringing centre-forwards to your club, you want them to try and get off the mark as quickly as they can. 'We've been very patient with him and we'll continue to be. I'm not going to rush him at all, and that doesn't change on the back of a good performance today. He still needs to settle but that'll do his confidence a world of good today. 'I thought with his energy, his work rate and running in behind, he was a constant threat. We know that's what we'll get out of him, but he's still got improvement to come, he's a young boy.' Gray made six changes to his side in between Conference League matches against Partizan Belgrade and Legia Warsaw and was pleased to see his depth of squad highlighted with 'a very professional performance'. The manager is relishing the last-eight trip to Rangers on the weekend of September 20. 'To win the trophy you need to try and beat the best teams and it'll be a real tough test,' said Gray. 'There's a lot of football to be played between now and then but coming to this football club is an opportunity to try and win things and when that game comes around we'll be looking forward to it.' Livi boss David Martindale conceded the better team won, saying: 'I don't think we deserved to go through, Hibs deserved it. 'We lost a poor goal just before half-time but I don't think there was much in the game until then. 'Hibs are flying and against top-six teams you get crucified, that's what happens against the bigger clubs. 'Second half we changed shape and it helped us, we looked like we might get the next goal. 'But Mulligan came up with an incredible goal and then the game ran away from us.'
