Hull City signed midfielder Jordan Flores after the midfielder’s contract at Dundalk expired.
The 25-year-old has signed an 18-month contract at KCOM Stadium, with a club option for one more year.
Flores spent two seasons with the Lilywhites, winning the league in 2019 and helping them qualify for the Europa Leage group stage last year.
He scored seven goals in 41 appearances for the Premier Division team, including a sensational left-handed volley against Shamrock Rovers, which was nominated for the 2020 FIFA Puskas Award.
His career had stalled after injuries and he had been through AFC Flyde and Östersunds FK in Sweden, but the switch to Louth helped Flores find the best form again.

The attacking midfielder scored against Arsenal and Molde in the Europa League.
Hull is pushing for promotion and is second in League 1 in England.
“We are very happy,” said City Chief Grant McCann.
“Jordan will bring a good balance to the team, being left-handed. He is different from what we already have in midfield and will offer good competition for positions.
“He can score a screech and shoot from far with his left foot and right foot. He can open things up and see passes. He’s very good in terms of hitting forwards.
“We incorporated him for his creativity and he is quite versatile in the way he plays.”
