Hull City announce retained list with former midfield prodigy to leave East Yorkshire

PREMIER League newcomers Hull City have confirmed their retained list, with young midfielder Harry Vaughan among the players to leave the club at the end of his deal this summer.

Meanwhile, the club has exercised a one-year extension option in the contract of goalkeeper Harvey Cartwright, 24, who has spent time on loan at the likes of Grimsby Town and Hartlepool United in recent seasons.

Meanwhile, Vaughan, 22, who burst onto the scene back in exciting fashion in 2023-24, will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30. He is currently on loan at Irish outfit Bohemians.

The club have confirmed that loan deals for first-teamers Toby Collyer, Joe Gelhardt, Amir Hadžiahmetović, Yū Hirakawa, Lewis Koumas and John Lundstram will terminate at the end of June.

Under-21 youngsters James Debayo, Cathal McCarthy, Hugh Parker, Tyrell Sellars-Fleming and Khiani Shombe are also contracted to the Tigers next term, with Stan Ashbee, Ed Devine, Archie Howard, Aidon Shehu and Nathan Tinsdale having been each offered fresh terms.
