James Furlong, who is out of contract in the summer, is set to move back into League Two. The player is fit again after a season in which he struggled, following his setback in the final stages of last season at AFC Wimbledon. Sergej Jakirovic said that they are trying to find a solution and that he has explained the situation to Furlong. Jakirovic stated there is no playing time for the player because the team has Gilo (Ryan Giles), Matty Jacob, and Akin Famewo, adding that he thinks it is better for Furlong to go and play because he will then feel much better.

It is expected that James Furlong will depart for League Two before the 7pm deadline on Monday night.

James Furlong, a 23-year-old Irish left-back, is set to leave Hull City this month, with several Scottish Premiership clubs interested in signing him. Furlong has not been selected regularly at Hull and wants to move in search of regular first-team football. Scottish Premiership clubs have continued to monitor him since his loan spell at Motherwell in 2023. Sources have indicated that a move is imminent. Furlong, who joined Hull City in September 2023, has not made an appearance for the club in the Championship this season. His contract with the club runs until June 2026, and he has been capped five times for the Republic of Ireland at U21 level. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €300k.
