Cllr Mike Ross, leader of Hull City Council, said: “I would like to offer huge congratulations to Hull City on their fantastic victory at Wembley, and on securing their well-deserved return to the Premier League.
“Their journey to this moment has not been an easy one – from being tipped as relegation candidates at the start of the season, to all the uncertainty relating to who they would face in the play-offs at the end – the team have come through it all.
“The club, players and fans have shown the true resilience associated with our city to overcome the odds, and can now prepare for the global audiences the Premier League attracts to further showcase themselves and Hull as a city to the rest of the world.”
