Docherty to leave as Hull release seven players

Greg Docherty is to leave Hull City once his contract expires next month as the club release seven players from their first-team squad.

Midfielder Docherty, 27, has spent four seasons with the Tigers, making 142 appearances, and was an important member of their 2020/21 League One title-winning side.

Former Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp will leave after his move from MLS side LA Galaxy last winter, along with fellow forwards Vaughn Covil and Aaron Connolly who joined permanently last summer and scored 10 goals in 36 appearances.

Mali international midfielder Adama Traoré is also being released after 36 appearances in two injury-hit seasons, as is defender Cyrus Christie and academy graduate goalkeeper David Robson.
