Beira-Mar sold McPhee for over 220 thousand pounds
Striker Stephen McPhee has joined Hull from Portuguese side SC Beira Mar in a £220,000 deal.
The 23-year-old Scottish international had "no hesitation" in signing a two-year deal to join the Tigers.
"A number of big clubs showed an interest, in Portugal and England," he told the Stellar Group website.
"But once I had spoken to Peter Taylor at Hull, I knew it was too good an opportunity to turn down. Their plans for next season are fantastic."
McPhee moved to Portugal from Port Vale on a free transfer at the start of the season and scored five goals in 21 Super Liga starts.
However, he was unable to save them from relegation and is now focused on helping Hull reacj the Premiership.
"The club is determined not just to make up the numbers in the Championship, but to launch a serious challenge for a place in the Premiership," he added.
"I shall be doing my utmost to score the goals we need. I want to have a nice break to recharge the batteries and then come back ready for a good pre-season."

Another striker for Hull, and a good one at that
