Hull City Secures Japanese Midfielder Morita on Two-Year Deal

Hull City has announced the signing of Japanese international Hidemasa Morita on a free transfer. The defensive midfielder has agreed to a two-year contract with the option for a further year.

Hull City has bolstered their squad with the acquisition of Hidemasa Morita, a Japanese defensive midfielder. The 27-year-old joins the club on a free transfer after his contract with Portuguese outfit Sporting CP expired at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Morita spent four seasons with Sporting CP, making a notable contribution during his tenure. He brings a wealth of international experience to the Tigers, having earned 40 caps for the Japanese national team. Despite his experience, he was notably absent from Japan's squad for the 2026 World Cup.

💬 Fulltime Take

This signing represents a shrewd piece of business by Hull City, acquiring an experienced international midfielder on a free transfer. Morita's pedigree suggests he could be a significant upgrade in defensive midfield, potentially solidifying the team's structure.
