The deal was finalized on July 10, 2026, after negotiations between the two Championship clubs were revived. A previous agreement had collapsed last month.
Transfer Background
Joseph successfully passed his medical examination before securing the move.
Hull City had initially attempted to sell the striker in June to avoid a Financial Fair Play penalty.
That earlier deal stalled when Middlesbrough's sale of Hayden Hackney to Everton faced delays.
Hull subsequently resolved their immediate financial issues by raising £9 million through alternative player sales.

He notably helped the Tigers defeat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the promotion play-off final at Wembley Stadium.
