HULL CITY have completed the signing of ex-Switzerland under-21 international goalkeeper Anthony Racioppi from Young Boys.

The 25-year-old has joined for a fee in the region of 1m euros after a deal was struck was Berne-based Young Boys.

Racioppi will provide some much-needed competition for winter window arrival Ivor Pandur following the departures of Matt Ingram and Ryan Allsop, to Oxford United and Birmningham City respectively.
