JOHN EGAN is hoping to add his Championship know-how to Hull City after his move from Burnley.
Egan, 32, had been unable to establish himself at Turf Moor following the end of his six-year stay with Sheffield United last summer.

And the centre-half – who began his professional career with Sunderland – has returned to the north-east on an 18-month deal with the option of a further year.
The Cork man knows the division inside-out and will look to help the Tigers steer clear of relegation trouble.
Egan – capped by Ireland 36 times – said: “I’m delighted. 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; 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.”
