Hull City goalkeeper Dillon Phillips says he is "absolutely delighted" to commit his future to the club until June 2028.

The 31-year-old shotstopper has made six appearances for the club since signing on a free transfer from Rotherham Town in June 2025.

Philipps helped the Tigers in their promotion-winning campaign putting in a player of the match performance in a draw against Oxford United on his debut, and has started both Carabao Cup games this season.

"I'm absolutely delighted. I've loved my time here so far," Phillips said. "It's only been a year but with all the things the club has managed to achieve, it's been brilliant to be a part of it day to day.

"When I came here, promotion was not something I really expected. The group was tremendous to be a part of last season, the way we worked for each other every day.

"I like to be a big part of the dressing room with the boys, which is easy to do because the group is so good.

"Kostas [Tzolakis] and Jack [Butland] have come in this year, both at different stages of their careers, but with great profiles. There are things I can learn from them, and hopefully things they can take from me.

"Training with them, especially someone like Jack in pre-season, with the career he's had and playing for England, it's exciting knowing I'll be working with those two goalkeepers on a day-to-day basis.

"We have a good group of young goalkeepers and I like to play my part in trying to help them, while still trying to improve myself every day.

"I've loved working with Erbs [Erbil Bozkurt]. It's been excellent and we get on really well, on and off the pitch. He gets the best out of me and the other goalkeepers too."
