Hull City hand Irish defender three-year deal

Sean McLoughlin has secured his long-term future with Hull City.

The former Cork City defender was still under contract with the Championship club but has signed a new three-year deal.

McLoughlin, 26, will then have the option of extending the deal by another year beyond the summer of 2026.

Hull City manager Liam Rosenior said: “Sean’s been magnificent. He’s grown as a character and become a real leader in the dressing room,.

“He’s someone I want to build the team around and the exciting thing for me is I think he’s got a lot more development and potential.

“The biggest compliment I can pay him is he's a fantastic professional, a good lad and a very, very good player.

“He’s grown and is improving all the time. I love how calm he is in possession but he also defends his box really well.

“We’re delighted he’s put his long-term future in our hands and I think he’s in the right place."
