Hull City Secure Elliot Stroud in £3.5m Deal from Mjallby

Hull City have completed the acquisition of Swedish international Elliot Stroud from Allsvenskan champions Mjallby for a reported fee of £3.5 million. The 24-year-old midfielder has committed to a four-year contract at the MKM Stadium, with an option to extend by another year. This marks the seventh new addition to the squad following Hull's promotion to the Premier League.

Stroud’s Impact and Career Highlights

Known for his versatility, Stroud brings a strong record of 19 goals and 13 assists over 87 league appearances with Mjallby. He played a pivotal role in securing both the 2025 Allsvenskan title and the Svenska Cupen for his former club. His domestic success earned him a spot in Sweden’s 2026 World Cup squad, where he featured in four matches as Sweden advanced to the round of 32.

Stroud’s Thoughts on Joining Hull City

"I am super happy and super excited to get started here. When I first heard of the interest, it was the only thing I wanted to do. I have individual hopes to play at the highest level possible. When an opportunity like this comes, it’s not something you take lightly. To do it here in Hull is an exciting opportunity."

Stroud also reflected on the significance of representing Sweden at the World Cup and his aspirations for the Premier League:

"The World Cup was an amazing experience. To represent your country in a World Cup is the biggest honour you can have as a player. It was a dream of mine to play in the Premier League. I am super excited to get this opportunity and hopefully create something magical this season."

Hull City's Transfer Activity and Upcoming Fixtures

Stroud joins a growing list of summer signings including Jack Butland, Oscar Zambrano, Matt Targett, Hidemasa Morita, Konstantinos Tzolakis, and Jens Hjerto-Dahl. The club is reportedly pursuing additional signings to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes.

The Tigers will face a challenging start to their Premier League campaign, hosting Manchester United at the MKM Stadium on August 22, marking their first top-flight match since the 2016-17 season.
