Hull City to sign former Birmingham City, Cardiff, Luton and Fulham star on free transfer

Birmingham City loanee Cody Drameh is to join a club in the Championship following his departure from Leeds United.

According to Barry Cooper, the journalist for Hull Live, Hull City will be signing the defender. He is due to at their training ground today and that his move from Leeds is 'expected to be confirmed'.

The 22-year-old was offered a new contract by the Whites, but according to those in West Yorkshire, that was so they could receive compensation with Drameh unlikely to sign new terms. Drameh is a free agent now, but the Tigers will have to pay a nominal fee to Drameh, who brought him through their academy system.

He spent almost the entirety of the 2023/24 season on loan with Blues and featured under various managers. Drameh made 30 appearances in a Birmingham City shirt, but found himself out of favour towards the end of his loan spell.

He made just one start under Gary Rowett for the end of season run in, and only made one further appearance following a change in management. Drameh didn't make the match day squad against Coventry City, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town, and was an unused substitute in their final day win over Norwich City, which saw them relegated despite the victory.

His move to Hull will represent the sixth club of his career with this being his third permanent team. He came through the academy of Fulham and played for their under-18 and under-21s teams, before moving to Elland Road in 2020. Drameh made 10 appearances for Leeds spread across a few seasons and had loan spells at Cardiff City and Luton Town. At Cardiff, he was named their Player of the Season, despite only joining in January and then at Luton, he helped them win promotion to the Premier League.
