Tom Eaves joined Hull City today - having scored more League One goals than any player over the past two seasons.
The striker had been in scintillating goalscoring form at Gillingham since 2017/18 - outscoring other League One hotshots, such as John Marquis and Lyle Taylor - and he has joined Championship Hull on a three-year deal.
Eaves' prolific form for the Gills, who he joined from Yeovil Town ahead of the 2017/18 season, saw him hit 38 goals in the third tier for the Kent side. He scored 22 goals in all competitions for Gillingham last season earning him the Gills' Players' Player of the Season award.

“I’m over the moon to be at a club of this magnitude. It’s a new chapter in my career," said Eaves.
