The transfer fee has not yet been disclosed. Stroud has signed a four-year contract with Hull City, with an option for a one-year extension.  

This versatile wing-back represented Sweden in all four matches of the 2026 World Cup, making his national team debut in a pre-World Cup friendly against Greece this June.

Before officially joining Hull City, Elliott Stroud played for Mjällby in the 2026/27 Champions League qualifiers, appearing in all three matches. He also calmly converted a penalty in his final match for Mjällby, securing his last goal for the club.  

In 2025, Elliott Straud made club history with Mjällby, helping the team lift the Swedish top-flight league title for the first time. That season, he made 28 appearances and scored 10 goals, including his first professional hat-trick against Vänamú, becoming a key contributor to the team's championship victory.  

In May 2026, Elliott Stroud once again won a championship with Mjällby. In the Swedish Cup final, he gave his team an early lead and scored the first goal of the match, which was also his fifth goal in the competition. With this crucial goal, Mjällby ultimately won the title, bringing the Swedish Cup trophy to their home jewels for the first time in their history.  

Elliott Straud, born in Udwala, began his professional career at IK Oddwold and gradually developed into an important player for the team. During his time there, he made 74 appearances and helped the team win the Swedish third division title in the 2021 season, successfully achieving promotion. In 2022, Elliott Straud entered a new phase of his career, officially transferring to Mjällby.  

Elliott Stroud couldn't hide his excitement when talking about joining Hull City. He said, "I'm really happy and can't wait to start a new chapter here. When I learned that Hull City wanted to sign me, my mind was very clear: I wanted to come here. I also spoke with the club president, which gave me a more positive understanding of the team and the club's overall environment."  

“For me, I’ve always wanted to compete at a higher level and face the strongest opponents. So when such an opportunity came up, I certainly wouldn’t give it up easily. I’m really looking forward to coming to Hull and having the chance to prove myself at a higher level.”  

“I had a very memorable experience at Mjällby, and winning the league and cup titles with the team was incredible. Now, I feel ready to take on new challenges in my career. I’m really looking forward to starting a new chapter at Hull City and working hard to create more memorable moments.”  

“Participating in the World Cup was an unforgettable experience. Being able to wear the national team jersey and compete in the World Cup is the highest honor for any player. I have always been incredibly proud to represent Sweden. Playing in the Premier League has always been my dream, and now I finally have the opportunity to take that step. I am very excited about it and hope to create some memorable stories with Hull City in the new season.”
