Aaron Connolly is returning early from his loan spell at Italian club Venezia to join Hull City until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old Republic of Ireland striker joined Venezia on a season-long loan in July but found his opportunities with the Serie B club limited.

He will head to the KC Stadium where he links up with former Albion defender Liam Rosenior, who took over as Hull’s head coach in November. Rosenior played for the club between 2015 and 2018.
