Hull City completes contract extension with Scotland international striker Oli McBurnie..


Hull City announced on their official website on Wednesday that the club has agreed to a contract extension with their Scotland international striker Oli McBurnie.


According to the Hull City's official statement, McBurnie has signed on a new three-year deal which runs until the summer of 2029, with an option to extend for a further year.


After completing his contract extension procedures, McBurnie, who was interviewed by the Hull City official website again, said: "I’m absolutely delighted. I came here last year, and as a team and a club, we’ve had a fantastic year."


"When we discussed the extension in the summer, the deal was wrapped up very quickly; for me, it was a no-brainer. My family and I are settled here—my children and fiancée love it and really feel at home—so I didn't hesitate to stay and get ready for the challenges of the new season."


"It was an easy decision to make. From day one, the way the fans have embraced and shown affection for me and my family has made me feel so welcome; the teammates, staff, chairman, and manager have all treated me with the same warmth."


"After speaking with my agent, I made the decision quickly. I’m thrilled that the club has put their trust in me again, just as they did last summer, and I hope to repay that faith with my performances, just like I did last season."


"I can honestly say I’d love to finish my career here. The past year has been amazing; the moments I’ve shared with my teammates—no matter what happens in the future—will be something we cherish forever. That’s an experience no one can take away, so I’m incredibly proud to have been part of that squad and hope we can achieve something special this year."
