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.

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."

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...
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.
