Hull City winger Dogukan Sinik has posted that it feels ‘great’ to be back playing again.
Hull City gave the winger some minutes in their recent friendly against Alanyaspor. He came off the bench as Tim Walter’s side beat the Super Lig outfit over in Turkey after goals by defender Matty Jacob and striker Mason Burstow.
Sinik, 25, has been out injured so far this season for the Championship outfit and hasn’t played at all. He has made good progress on his road to recovery recently though and will be edging closer to being back in contention for the league.
After his recent appearance, he posted on Instagram: “I’m back on the pitch today! Thank you to my club and supporters. It feels great to wear the jersey again.”
Hull City also gave game time to players including Gustavo Puerta, Joao Pedro and Carl Rushworth against Alanyaspor to help them get up to speed.

Sinik will give Walter another option to pick from on the wing.
His contract at the MKM Stadium expires in June next year meaning it is now or never for him with the Tigers.

Hull City snapped him up back in 2022 following Acun Ilicali’s takeover but it hasn’t worked out for him in England so far.
Sinik has played 13 games for the East Yorkshire outfit in all competitions, one of which came in the last campaign under former manager Liam Rosenior, and he hasn’t scored.
The Turkey international has been shipped out on loan twice to Hatayspor and Antalyaspor.

He rose up through the academy ranks of the latter and broke into their first-team as a youngster before going on to make 123 appearances altogether, chipping in with five goals.
What now?
Hull City were beaten 4-0 last time out against Norwich City before the international break. They had won three in a row though before their defeat at Carrow Road against Stoke City, Cardiff City and QPR.
The Tigers are back in action this weekend at home to Sunderland as they look to return to winning ways.
