Hull City are delighted to announce the signing of versatile midfielder Rajdeep Palit on a one-year deal, with the club holding the option of an extra year.
The 19-year-old impressed on trial with the Tigers’ Under-21 side last season, netting the opening goal in a 2-0 victory against Cardiff City at the MKM Stadium in April, before scoring the second goal in the national Professional Development League semi-final against Millwall a month later.
Speaking on his signing, Lead Professional Development Phase Coach Conor Sellars said: “Raj is someone who I have worked with before; he is a great lad who has an unbelievable enthusiasm to be a footballer.
“He is very intelligent and I thought from the day he walked in and the games he played, he was excelling in the side and was being asked to play in positions that weren’t too familiar to him.
“He is going to give us that leadership and I am sure he will not only improve himself, but he, through his attitude and mentality, will improve players around him.”
While playing for local side Elland Juniors, Palit was signed by Huddersfield Town at the age of 11 before representing Manchester United's academy to the age of 15.
Later joining Bradford City’s academy, the midfielder also spent time on loan at Tadcaster Albion, making his debut for the Brewers away against Ossett United.
Playing either in a defensive or attacking midfield position, as well as out wide, the 19-year-old will link up with the Under-21s as a second-year professional.

Though us kids who saw Brid Town’s first ever game in 1959 never dreamt we would see them at Wembley not once but twice. And 20 years before we saw City there. Very Allamesque. you could say yes but we had some of our best seasons under him. I know of a few other things not mentioned in this article. He got away with a lot.
