Allahyar Sayyadmanesh returned to Hull City from Fenerbahce in January 2022 on a permanent deal following a successful half-season loan spell.

Born in Amal, Iran, Sayyadmanesh signed his first professional contract with Esteghal FC in June 2018.

After 18 appearances during his time at the Azadi Stadium, the exciting forward caught the eye of Fenerbahce and signed for the Turkish giants in May 2019.

A month after signing, Sayyadmanesh made his senior debut for Iran and became his nation’s youngest-ever goalscorer after netting in a 5-0 friendly win against Syria.

This is his third loan spell away from Fenerbahce, having previously impressed during spells at İstanbulspor and Zorya Luhansk.

His performances in Ukraine saw him named among the Ukrainian Premier League’s best 11 players for 2020/21.

First moving to the MKM Stadium on loan in January 2022, he made 12 appearances for the Tigers – six of them starts – and scored his only goal in a 2-1 victory over Cardiff City which mathematically secured our Championship status.

His blistering pace and relentless work ethic quickly endeared him to the Hull City faithful, who awarded him the club’s Player and Goal of the Month awards for April.

Sayyadmanesh completed his return to East Yorkshire ahead of the 2022/23 season on a four-year deal, with a club option of a further year.

In his first full season at the club, Allahyar scored memorable finishes against Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
