Hull City owner Acun Ilicali says he currently "cannot say yes or no" as to whether Joe Gelhardt will return to the Tigers in the Premier League. The 24-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Hull, before returning for the entirety of their promotion-winning campaign in which he scored 15 goals. "I cannot say yes or no at the moment," Ilicali told BBC Radio Humberside.
Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic says defender Charlie Hughes is "far away" from a return from injury and has "no hope" of making the first game of the Premier League season against Manchester United. Hughes underwent a hernia operation after last season's Wembley success and complained of discomfort when he returned to first-team training this summer. "Every player, especially from last season who was a main player in our road to Wembley, to the Premier League, has a big role for us."
The defender is set to become one of Australia’s most expensive players with a Premier League deal nearly done while some international teammates have already made movesLucas Herrington, fresh off becoming the youngest Australian to start a game at a men’s World Cup, is set to become the second-most expensive footballer in Australian history with a move to newly-promoted Premier League side Hull City.

Given the trajectory of Herrington’s meteoric rise, it feels a pretty safe bet to assume the 18-year-old will claim Souttar’s record outright sooner rather than later. Continue reading...
Gary Caldwell, who returned to the League One club in February to keep them up, faces a new season with meticulous plans and bright hopes“This is the only rule I’m going to have for yous all season: ‘team first’,” says Gary Caldwell. The Wigan head coach’s Scottish accent booms over the gentle hum of a projector in a darkened classroom at the club’s Christopher Park training ground. “That is the one thing that we cannot ever go against,” he says, pointing to a slide on screen. “The team is the most important aspect of everything we do.”Three rows of professional athletes listen intently, keen to learn not only what the day holds, but about the 10 months ahead.

Ivor Pandur cannot wait to get started at Rangers and the Croatian goalkeeper believes he has arrived at the "perfect time" in his quest for silverware. The 26-year-old was signed from Hull City at the end of June but has just arrived in Glasgow this week after representing his country at the World Cup. Pandur, who has yet to earn a full international cap, agreed a four-year contract, having helped Hull win promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.
Eight weeks after firing Hull City into the Premier League, Oli McBurnie is still grinning from ear to ear. "It took a couple of weeks for it to sink in properly," McBurnie said. Usually after a summer break, going back to work and routine feels like a comedown, but McBurnie and his teammates cannot wait.
