Former Celta Vigo striker Kamel Ghilas is delighted with his move to Hull City.

Ghilas, who is a French-born Algerian international, can't wait to experience life in the Barclays Premier League after signing for the Tigers on Thursday.

"This is a new challenge for me because I have never played in England before," Ghilas told Hull's website.

"I have to impress the manager so that I can get into the team as soon as I possibly can.

"I know about the Premier League because I have seen a lot of it on the television. In terms of Hull, I only arrived here yesterday so I haven't had much chance to look around.

"There are some players that I know, the likes of Bernard Mendy, Daniel Cousin and Steven Mouyokolo who I have seen play in France.

"It means I have somebody to talk to and that will help me to adapt and settle very quickly."
