Why Lucas Herrington's transfer could mark a new era for not just Hull City, MLS and the A-League

As they prepare for their first Premier League season in a decade, Hull City have started to invest heavily in their squad with several shrewd signings. They've purchased two new goalkeepers in Jack Butland (€3.5m) and Konstantinos Tzolakis (€23.3m) from Rangers and Olympiacos, whilst they've also replenished their midfield with Óscar Zambrano (undisclosed) from sister club Maribor and Jens Hjertø-Dahl (€9.5m) from Tromsø.

Hull have also acquired left back Elliot Stroud (€2.5m) from Mjällby AIF, whilst they've also added veteran experience in midfielder Hidemasa Morita and left back Matt Targett, who have arrived on free transfers. And after replenishing their squad with players from Japan, England, Norway, Sweden, Greece, and Ecuador, they're set to continue their rich Australian lineage with the signing of Lucas Herrington.
