The 2021-22 campaign saw Hull City successfully consolidate their place in the Championship after their League One title win, finishing a respectable 19th and steering clear of the relegation zone. The season, which featured a managerial change, was defined by the stunning emergence of local hero Keane Lewis-Potter. The homegrown England U-21 international was The Tigers' top scorer with 12 goals in all competitions, a form so decisive that he swept a hat-trick of end-of-season awards, including the prestigious Players' Player and Overall Player of the Year. It was a vital year of stabilization built on the promise of youth, with Jacob Greaves also clinching Young Player of the Year, marking a defining chapter of the club's successful fight to re-establish itself in the second tier.
