Hull City have enjoyed a fine season so far, with Grant McCann's side on course to win promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.

Whilst the only focus for the Northern Irishman will be to ensure his team finish the job, the recruitment team will already be looking to the summer, when new additions will hopefully be joining a newly-promoted outfit.

The Tigers' success under McCann has generally stemmed from identifying young, hungry players, so it's unlikely that Hull will change from that approach.

However, that's not to say experienced signings won't help, with the club having brought in several golden oldies over the years.

Here we look at the ten oldest players to turn out for Hull City in the modern era...

The former Trinidad & Tobago international makes the top ten on this list, although some Hull City fans could be forgiven for forgetting the keeper had actually played for the club.

That's because the former Millwall man arrived in 2008 but would only make two starts for the club, with both of those coming in the cup.

Warner's last outing was against Southend in August 2009, as he took to the pitch aged 35 years, 3 months and 14 days old. He would mutually agree to terminate his contract months later, and Warner would move to several other Football League clubs as backup as his career continued.

The strong centre-back featured for several clubs in England, most notably Stoke, but his last side in the country were the Tigers.

And, it was a memorable one, with Faye playing 31 league games as the Tigers won promotion to the Premier League under Steve Bruce. Faye found game time hard to come by upon promotion, as he featured in just four games, and his last outing for the club came in the FA Cup against Brighton in February 2014.

Taking to the pitch aged 35 years, 11 months and 22 days makes the Senegal international the ninth oldest player to play for Hull City.

The Peruvian international is another who is well-known to English football fans, having starred for Newcastle.

He did turn out for several other English sides, including the Tigers, who he agreed a short-term deal with in 2010. In truth, it was a season that didn't really go to plan, as he made just 13 appearances in total.

The last of those saw the midfielder play a part in the 5-1 thrashing of Scunthorpe in February 2011, when he was 36 years, 1 month and 24 days old. A very short spell with Hartlepool would follow for Solano after he left Hull, and he then retired.

Next on the list is keeper Allan McGregor, who made almost 150 appearances for Hull after joining from Rangers.

During his five years with the club, the Scotsman would experience several highs and lows, as the club were promoted and relegated during that period. The last of McGregor's appearances came in April 2018, when the stopper was 36 years, 2 months and 28 days old.

Despite his age, McGregor is still going strong, as he has been brilliant for Rangers as they have just ended Celtic's dominance in Scotland, with his performances also crucial in helping the team to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

The big striker enjoyed a successful career that saw him play for the likes of Birmingham City and Coventry City among others.

Adebola's time with Hull won't be remembered as fondly, as he made just ten appearances and failed to score a league goal, so he was loaned out to Notts County before his one year contract with the Tigers was up.

Nevertheless, by playing against Southampton in November 2011 when he was 36 years, 5 months and 6 days old, Adebola is the sixth oldest player to pull on the Hull shirt in modern times.

Making the top five on the list is one of few Brazilian players to turn out for Hull - keeper Adriano Basso.

The stopper made his name in England because of a five-year spell with Bristol City, but he had a short spell with Wolves before signing a one-year deal with the Tigers.

Arriving as backup, Basso knew that his game time would be limited, and that proved to be the case. But, he still did feature, making 13 appearances for Hull, the last of which came in a 1-0 defeat to Derby County in January 2012, when the keeper was 36 years, 8 months and 15 days old.

Next on the list is local lad Nick Barmby who enjoyed a very successful career that saw him play for Spurs, Everton, Liverpool and England before he returned home in 2004 to play for Hull.

Despite arriving as a 30-year-old, Barmby would still have a lot to offer, making just under 200 appearances over the next eight years, which included helping the club to a memorable promotion to the Premier League in 2008.

The last outing for the midfielder in a Hull shirt came in October 2011, when Barmby was 37 years, 7 months and 20 days old. That also turned out to be his last game in professional football.

Peter Taylor's Hull City were promoted to the second tier in 2005, and the loan signing of the experienced Andy Hessenthaler helped get the Tigers over the line.

The midfielder joined from Gillingham and would feature in ten games for the Tigers, the last of those coming in late April against Sheffield Wednesday, when Hessenthaler was 39 years, 8 months and 13 days old.

Despite knowing Taylor and helping the Tigers go up, Hull would not bring the player back, so he returned to the Gills and had a few more years with Barnet and Dover, where he was player-manager.

The second oldest player to pull on the Hull shirt is one of the most popular - Dean Windass.

The local lad was prolific after starting his career with the club, but it's his second spell in 2007 that the forward is best remembered for, and that remarkable volley at Wembley that took the Tigers to the Premier League.

Following promotion, things would get tougher for Windass, as he made just five top-flight appearances for Hull, the last of which came when he was 39 years, 8 months and 24 days old. That was in the 5-1 defeat against Manchester City, where Phil Brown gave his half-time team talk on the pitch.

Steve Harper is the oldest player to play for Hull, and the only player to do so over 40.

The stopper enjoyed a decent career with local club Newcastle, but he decided to leave in 2013, joining the Tigers as backup, when they were in the Premier League.

Despite being number two, Harper would go on to make 31 appearances for the Tigers over two years, with the last of those coming in May 2015, when Harper was 40 years, 2 months and 10 days old. That would be the stopper's last game in professional football, and he ended by keeping a clean sheet against Manchester United.
