Despite starting 2026 with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Stoke City, Hull City are firmly in the race for a playoff spot just past the midway point of the 2025-26 Championship campaign.
Having not featured in the Premier League since 2017, Sergej Jakirovic's side are itching for a top-flight return and they have made a number of moves in the January transfer window.
They have already recalled Tyrell Sellars-Fleming and Matty Jacob from their respective loan spells, but the former has since been sent on another temporary assignment to Grimsby.
While the Tigers are limited by a transfer embargo, they are still able to make additions in the free and loan markets in their promotion bid, adding several new players to the group in January thus far.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Hull City's confirmed ins and outs during the 2026 January transfer window, as well as looking at their net spend and latest transfer rumours.
