Hull City are delighted to announce the signing of defender Ajay Weston on a one-year deal, with the club holding the option of an extra year.
The 18-year-old featured for the Tigers’ Under-18 and Under-21 sides on trial last season, coming off the bench in the U21 Professional Development League national semi-final against Millwall.
Lead Professional Development Phase Coach Conor Sellars said: “Ajay made a real impact in the games he played and is someone who we saw had potential in him as a left-back.
“He is very composed and has got a very good understanding of his role and responsibilities.
“He is a very likable character and hopefully we will see him progress and get more used to how we play, but he is another one who really impressed in his trial and we are looking forward to working with him.”
A left-back by trade, Weston began his career at Cheltenham Town before moving to Huddersfield Town’s academy.
