(Reuters) - Leicester City signed Hull City centre back Harry Maguire on a five-year contract on Thursday. The 24-year-old, who made 36 appearances for Hull last season, will join Craig Shakespeare's side in July ahead of their pre-season camp in Austria. There were a number of clubs interested, but when I met the manager here, he pretty much swayed it into the direction of this club," Maguire said in a statement. "He showed me the way the club is going. Maguire began his career at Sheffield United in 2011, making over 100 appearances across three seasons before joining Hull City.
