The 28-year-old is the Tigers' second signing of the summer having penned a two-year deal and has already joined up with his new team-mates at the club's pre-season training camp in Italy.

Geovanni played Premier League football last season having joined Manchester City at the beginning of the 2007/08 campaign and went on to make a total of 19 appearances during Sven Goran Eriksson's reign at the City of Manchester stadium, scoring two goals, including City's winner in the home win over arch rivals Manchester United.

However, he was recently released by new City boss Mark Hughes after just one year with the blue side of Manchester.
