Hull part company with sporting director

Sporting director Jared Dublin has left Hull City after less than two years at the club.

BBC Radio Humberside sports editor Mike White said: “Sources have told me a breakdown in communication over personal contract talks between Dublin and the club has contributed to his departure.”

The American initially joined the Tigers as head of recruitment in August 2024, replacing Lee Darnbrough.

A 47-word club statement read: “Hull City has parted company with sporting director Jared Dublin with immediate effect.

“The club would like to thank Jared for his efforts throughout his time at Hull City, particularly for his contribution to our promotion to the Premier League, and wish him well for the future.”

Hull City avoided the threat of a points deduction in the Premier League by selling goalkeeper Ivor Pandur and midfielder Aidon Shehu hours before the deadline on Tuesday last week.

Despite promotion to the top flight, Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) created the situation whereby a club set to receive significant funds had no choice but to sell players before the accounting period ended on 30 June.

They have since signed goalkeeper Jack Butland from Rangers on a two-year contract with the option of another 12 months.
