Jackson Irvine is proving Hull City’s surprise 2020 decision to be the wrong one
There were plenty of people that were shocked when Jackson Irvine’s departure from Hull City was confirmed in 2020, none less so than the player himself.
Having racked up over 100 matches for the Tigers in his three-year association with the club, the Australian international was told of the club’s decision to let him go during the COVID-19 break, and he never played for the Humberside outfit again.
After a stint in Scotland with Hibernian, the midfielder now finds himself playing week in, week out for Bundesliga outfit St Pauli, as well as continuing to flourish for his country.
The decision to let the Socceroos star leave the MKM Stadium has got to be one that haunts City to this day, as he thrives on the biggest stage after moving to the continent.
Jackson Irvine shocked by Hull City departure decision
Irvine had been something of a mainstay during his time at City, which made the decision for the club to move him on all the more difficult to comprehend.
With over a century of appearances to his name, the Tigers could have done with his experience and energy on the pitch as they battled relegation from the second tier, but saw a number of stars depart the club before play resumed later in the year.
