The 23-year-old forward is the Tigers' fourth signing in the January transfer window, joining midfielders Matt Crooks and Nordin Amrabat and forward Joe Gelhardt. Joseph, who netted eight goals in 29 appearances this season, expressed his eagerness to develop under manager Ruben Selles, who sees significant potential in him. His arrival comes as Hull City aims to improve their position in the Championship, where they currently sit 21st.

Former Blackpool manager Steve Bruce praised Joseph's work ethic and attitude, emphasizing his capability to contribute positively to Hull City's campaign.
