Joao Pedro: Hull City terminate forward’s contract by mutual consent

Hull City have terminated the contract of forward Joao Pedro by mutual consent, one month after exercising an option to extend his deal by a year.

The 33-year-old one-cap Italy international joined the Tigers as a free agent until the end of the season in September and scored six goals in 35 league appearances.

That output led to the Championship side taking up the opportunity to keep him at the club for a further year but they are now letting him go to “pursue other opportunities”.

He has previously played in his native Brazil, Italy and Turkey.
