The 19-year-old defender was set to check in on Thursday to start a month at the KC Stadium as City pursue an outside chance of a play-off spot.

Hull boss Peter Taylor made his move for Otsemobor, who made his senior debut for Liverpool in a Worthington Cup tie this season, after losing Marc Joseph to injury and with Justin Whittle set to serve a ban.

"I've always thought I would like to get John here," said Taylor.

"He is a good young player who can play in a couple of positions at the back and I'm sure he'll do well for us," Taylor told his club's website.
