Hull City sign midfielder Hidemasa Morita as free agent
Hull City have completed the signing of Hidemasa Morita from Sporting CP as a free agent, with the move confirmed on 23 July 2026.
The midfielder arrives after a busy 2025 in which he made 47 competitive appearances for Sporting CP across all competitions, totalling 2,534 minutes and a single goal.
A regular for Sporting CP
The bulk of Morita's workload last year came in the Primeira Liga, where he featured 31 times for 1,832 minutes. He also played a part in Sporting CP's European campaign, making 11 appearances in the UEFA Champions League for 466 minutes, and added five outings in the Taça de Portugal worth 236 minutes.
That volume of football underlines the experience Morita brings to Hull City's midfield as he embarks on a new chapter with the club ahead of the coming season.
