Delaney has left Hull for Championship rivals QPR

Delaney, 26, joined the Tigers from Leicester in October 2002 for a fee of around �50,000 when he became the first signing of ex-Hull boss Peter Taylor.

QPR raised their original �400,000 bid after they failed to sign Sheffield Wednesday left-back Tommy Spurr.

QPR also released Shabazz Baidoo, who subsequently signed for Dagenham, Pat Kanyuka and Kieron St Aimie.
