Kevin Stewart admits it was tough leaving Liverpool – but says he needed to move on for the sake of his career.

The 23-year-old midfielder completed an £8million move to Hull City on Friday as he penned a three-year contract.

Stewart clocked up 20 appearances for the club he grew up supporting but found his opportunities increasingly limited last term.

Now he has his sights set on helping the Tigers climb back into the Premier League.

“Coming here was an opportunity that was just too good to turn down,” Stewart said.

“It was a difficult decision to leave Liverpool. It’s a club that I love and have loved for a long time.

“I’ve supported Liverpool since I was a young boy and it was my life goal to be a regular there.

“But at the same time I felt this was a move that I needed to make in order to further my career.

“I’ve got a great platform to kick on here and it’s now up to me to take it. I’ve come here to play a lot of games and gain some much-needed experience.”
