Gateshead have signed former Hull City midfielder Rocco Coyle on a two-year contract.

The 20-year-old, who was released by the Tigers this summer, has National League experience having been loaned out to Boston United – as well as National League North side Scarborough Athletic – last season.

“It’s a good feeling to be a part of the team,” Coyle, the younger brother of Hull City captain Lewie, told the club website.

“Last week there was talk of me coming in. As soon as I came in I knew I was wanting to sign here and buzzing to get it done.

“The lads are spot on. Everyone seems to be together in the group which is always a good sign.”
