Sonko joins Tigers on loan

Last updated : 01 September 2009 By Dan Buxton

Ibrahima Sonko has beaten the transfer deadline to sign on loan for Hull City.

Hull, who sold star man Michael Turner to Sunderland last night, have been searching for a central defender to replace Turner all day and have now secured the services of the Potters Senegalese international on a six-month loan.

Sonko signed from Reading last summer for £2m but failed to impress and is well down the pecking order at the Potters.
