Regan Slater has committed his future to Hull City, signing a new contract that runs until the summer of 2029, according to BBC News.

The midfielder spoke after Hull's goalless draw with Aston Villa, expressing his gratitude to owner and chairman Acun Ilicali for following through on assurances that a new deal would be put in front of him. Slater said the confirmation of his long-term future means he can now focus purely on his football, having never doubted that the promise would be honoured.

The extended contract represents a strong vote of confidence in Slater from the Hull hierarchy, tying down one of their key players well into the future. With his contract situation now settled, attention turns to whether Slater can help drive Hull's form forward as they look to build on results like the point earned against Villa.
