Hull City are delighted to announce that defender Sean McLoughlin has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
The 26-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal through to the summer of 2026, with a club option of a further 12 months.
Calm, composed and consistent, the Irish centre-back has made 78 appearances in black and amber since joining from hometown club Cork City in July 2019.
An ever-present since the World Cup break, the Tigers have kept 10 clean sheets in the 21 league matches McLoughlin has started this season, only conceding 18 goals.
He similarly helped shore up the City backline after coming into the side last term, featuring 33 times as we comfortably avoided relegation in our first campaign back in the second tier.
Initially loaned to St Mirren in 2019/20, McLoughlin has had to wait patiently for opportunities but is now a regular fixture and dependable performer at the heart of defence.
Head coach 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.”
