Kamil Zayatte

[2] His first professional club was RC Lens, where he got to know future Hull City teammate Daniel Cousin.

[2] He only played in two games for Lens, one league and one cup, and moved to BSC Young Boys for more first-team opportunities.

[2] In summer 2008, Zayatte had trials with Everton and Newcastle United,[3] before joining Hull City on a season-long loan on 31 August.
