Slater has spent the early stages of his career gaining loan experience, with Carlisle providing the Sheffield-born player his first regular taste of first-team football.

He made 41 appearances under John Sheridan and Steven Pressley in the 2018/19 season, scoring two goals - both in an impressive showing at Swindon Town as United won 4-0.

"Iβd been waiting on it since the summer. This is where I wanted to be and Iβm delighted to be back," Slater said of his Hull move.
βLast season, I worked towards getting Hull to the Championship and I feel like I deserve my shot at seeing what I can do [at this level].
βIβm ready to kick on with my career."
