King: On the move

Marlon King is having a medical at Hull after a deal was agreed with Wigan, skysports.com understands.

Hull had failed to seal the permanent capture of the Jamaican international after making a move for him last month.

Now, after talks between the clubs, a deal has been struck which will see King move to The KC Stadium on loan for the season.

King only joined Wigan in January, but he has now opted to link up with the newly-promoted Tigers.

The 28-year-old is expected to complete the move within the next 24 hours and he will be eligible to make his debut in Hull's opening game of the season against Fulham on Saturday.
