Hull City have confirmed that manager Steve Bruce has agreed a new deal with the Premier League club.

The 54-year-old, who is due to put pen to paper within the next 24 hours, joined the Tigers in 2012 before guiding them to promotion from the Championship in his first season.

Hull are currently in 15th place in the table, five points clear of the relegation zone.

Bruce has won 28% of his games in charge in the Premier League during his managerial career.
