Dear Hull Daily Mail readers,
As your Hull City correspondent, I’m excited to take you even closer to the heart of the Tigers in what promises to be another thrilling season as the club embarks on their first campaign back in the Premier League after that incredible Championship promotion season.
After taking the reins back in Covid, when City had just been relegated to League One, to covering Acun Ilicali’s takeover, followed by the flirtation with League One and now a sensational promotion, the club has left an incredible mark on both my life and the lives of my family and I can’t wait to see Sergej Jakirovic’s heroes mix it with the best over the next nine months.
Having the chance to cover City back in the Premier League is the ultimate privilege, and taking you with me as we head around the country to follow the Tigers’ fortunes will be another huge honour.
