Hide AdThe 26-year-old is a Scotland international, his sole appearance coming in 2016 against France. Capable of also playing centre-back, he is a formidable defender and modern-day full-back.
Kingsley was not offered a new deal by Hull City who were ultimately relegated from the Championship after the resumption of the 2019/20 season.
He emerged at Falkirk where he impressed significantly to earn a move to Swansea City. Loan spells at Yeovil Town and Crewe Alexandra followed before he broke into the Swans first-team while the club were in the Premier League.
The player has spent the last three seasons at the Tigers but was limited to 45 Championship appearances due to injury, mainly a groin issue which has affected Andy Murray and Kieran Tierney.
