Some Hull City supporters have taken to Twitter to share their delight at confirmation of Josh Bowler’s season-long loan move to the KCOM Stadium from Premier League side Everton.

Bowler becomes Hull’s fifth addition of the summer, following the arrivals of Ryan Tafazolli, Tom Eaves, Lucas Odunston and goalkeeper Matt Ingram from fellow Championship side Queens Park Rangers.

The 20-year-old came through the youth ranks at Fulham but was released early, prompting a move to fellow London club QPR before signing a three-year deal with Everton in 2017.

His progress in the Everton development squad has been rapid, and now the Toffees will be hoping he can gain valuable first-team experience while on loan at Hull for the coming season.

Hull supporters appear excited to see Bowler in action, taking to Twitter to comment on the deal:

Hull have had a tricky summer so far. Former manager Nigel Adkins resigned from the club, while players such as Fraizer Campbell and Evandro weren’t offered new deals due to financial struggles.

New manager Grant McCann has arrived from Doncaster Rovers and his first task with the Tigers this summer is to piece together a squad capable of competing at a consistent level in the Championship.

Bowler is predominantly an attacking wide player, and he will help compliment the likes of Jarrod Bowen while question marks remain over the future of fellow attacker Kamil Grosicki.
