Mills is out favour at Manchester City

The 29-year-old has lost his place at City to Micah Richards, with Hatem Trabelsi providing suitable cover for the England Under-21 defender.

Hull chairman Adam Pearson told the Yorkshire Post: "I know Danny from my time at Leeds. It is a big move for us. He has a wealth of experience."

Mills joined City in July 2004 on a free transfer from Leeds.

He is in line to make his Hull debut in Friday's home match against Sheffield Wednesday.
