Narborough_fox Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2383348,00.html Leicester City have reached agreement with Hull City for the permanent transfer of Jack Hobbs, who has joined the Tigers for an undisclosed fee.The 22-year-old defender has agreed a three-year contract at the KC Stadium, where he spent three months on loan last season, appearing 13 times for the Championship side. In joining the Tigers, he links up with former Foxes manager Nigel Pearson, who brought Jack to City in August 2008. Initially signed on loan from Liverpool before completing a permanent transfer a year later, he made 130 appearances for the Foxes, scoring once. The Club would like to place on record its thanks to Jack for his valuable contribution both on and off the pitch during his three years on Filbert Way and wish him every success in the future. Good luck for the future is all I have to say, shame we let him go but he just wasn't right under Sven and Sousa. Thanks for the contribution.

Article continues Advertisement Speaking about joining Nigel Pearson's squad on a permanent basis, Hobbs said: "I'm delighted now that it's all done and I'm finally a Hull City player. I am really looking forward to meeting up with the other lads for pre season and starting a push towards the Premier League. "My time at the club last season only reinforced for me what a great club Hull City is - the fans, the stadium, the set up here, the manager and the players meant it was great to be a part of last season and I want to be part of it again."

Bugg Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Bye Jack, at least you won't sulk when told to fight for your place anymore (because you won't have to)
sphericalfox Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 What?!!? No thanks to LCFC fans... what a kilo-november-oscar-bravo! EDIT: Christ i need some sleep! I shall call him Jack Knobbs from now on! What a turncoat...off to Daddy Pearson!
Fox92 Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Shame to see him leave. I still think he's good enough at this level and I rekon he will be solid again for Pearson next season. Thanks for the contribution though, Jack.
Unabomber Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Doesn't fit in with the way Sven is looking to get us playing. Good luck to him anyway.
Haydos Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Cheers Jacky, Good couple of years for us but not what we need right now I suppose. Lad'll have a good future no doubt.
shen Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Necessary, but still a shame to let a decent young player go.
Saxondale Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Sousa's mental defensive style shattered Hobbs' confidence. He was a good player the season before. Never properly recovered. Good luck to him for the future - apparantly a really nice bloke too.
Manwell Pablo Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 HIT THE ROAD JACK, AND DON'T YOU COME BACK NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE! Best of luck and all that.
blueredswed Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Best of luck! But you never gonna be a Premiere leaguge player or I shall eat up my hat! But good luck against our hungry foxes......
danlcfc4ever Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Necessary, but still a shame to let a decent young player go. Agreed!
Guest Bilo Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Sousa's mental defensive style shattered Hobbs' confidence. He was a good player the season before. Never properly recovered. Good luck to him for the future - apparantly a really nice bloke too. Can confirm. A genuinely nice bloke who has time for the fans when I met him.
ousefox Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 'Future England centre back' this time last year, and can just about muster up 2 pages on here after leaving. Times have changed!
Amin Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 'Future England centre back' this time last year, and can just about muster up 2 pages on here after leaving. Times have changed! Haha, very true!
Salieri Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Quite gutted by this, had high hopes for the lad after such a promising start. Still think he'll go on to have a decent career. All the best Jack.
NorthernFox Posted 30 June 2011 Posted 30 June 2011 Sad to see him leave, think this may be one to bite on arse in future. Good luck Jack.
