Republic of Ireland centre-half John Egan has moved from Burnley to fellow Championship side Hull City for an undisclosed fee.
Egan has struggled to get game time at the Clarets, who are third in the table having, remarkably, only conceded nine goals in 30 games.
The 32-year-old only arrived at Burnley in September but he now heads to the 21st-placed Tigers relishing the fresh start.
"I'm delighted," said Egan, who has penned an 18-month deal, with a club option of a further year.
"I’d known about the interest for a couple of weeks but wasn’t sure if it was going to happen. Last night, I got a call and I made my way over this morning.
"The club has made some really good signings in January. It’s a really good squad, a very good manager (Ruben Selles), it just needs to drive up the league now.
"The manager has steadied things and the team plays some good football, high intensity, on the front foot. They’re the type of teams you want to play in.
"I’ve played a lot of games in this division, managed to get promoted twice. Every game is really hard and the main thing is about being consistent. Having consistent standards in training leads to consistent performances on a matchday.
"I’m looking forward to the future, putting on the black and amber, being a Hull City player. I’ll give it my all, and hopefully, we can achieve success together."
Enter, Egan! 🤝 #hcafc | @Hull_Trains
