Hamilton Accies youngster Kerr Reynolds has joined English Championship side Hull City in a move that is worth six-figures to the Lanarkshire side.

The Advertiser exclusively revealed last week that League One Accies were in negotiations with the English Championship side and a deal for a significant fee plus add-ons was close to completion.

Now the 16-year-old has passed his medical and the club have announced his exit.

Accies will collect a minimum of £75,000 from the standard training compensation fee and it is understood there are significant add-ons that the club will pick up for certain appearance milestones.

Accies owner Seref Zengin has ties to Tigers supremo Acun Ilicali and the clubs have worked together previously to arrange a trial for Accies youngster Lewis Latona last season.

Reynolds came through the youth ranks at Accies over the last few years and has been capped for Scotland under-15s and under-16s.
