The 33-year-old earned two promotions to the Premier League with the Tigers and helped the club reach its first-ever FA Cup final over his six-year spell, scoring 19 goals in 191 appearances.
Earning 26 caps for Republic of Ireland, the former midfielder will specifically coach the Tigers’ Under-15s team, alongside his international coaching duties with Republic of Ireland Under-17s.
“I had been in touch with Richard Naylor and Matt Hare about coming in and this opportunity came about and I am delighted to be on board and get coaching,” said Meyler.
“I coach with the Republic of Ireland Under-17s. That is done through the international breaks and I wanted to get more hands on and be coaching more regularly.
“Hull City as a football club have been very good to me over the years. I had many successes here and if I can go into the academy and start helping out young lads who can develop and go into the first-team then that would be brilliant.
“The Under-15s is a really important phase I find in their development, because this is the point where they need to work extremely hard if they want to progress to the Under-18s.
“There are some really good players in that age group and if I can help them in their footballing journey, it would be brilliant for myself, the academy and the club, because when I look at Hull City as a club from when I played here, we should get more and more players through.
“They’ve had great success very recently, but you want to see more. They have the facilities, the coaching staff and I certainly think we need to push on and progress players through the academy because I think we can.”
