Matt Crooks Transfers to Hull City

Written Jan 11 2025

We had a rumor about this transfer earlier this week and it was confirmed by the club today. Matt Crooks was transferred to Hull City in the EFL championship. They are in 22nd and in a relegation fight this season. Matt Crooks played a lot of minutes and covered  a lot of ground for us last year but likely didn't have the end product needed to stay with the club long term. 

Matt Crooks was with RSL on a multi year contract. As such in order to be released we would have needed to accept a fee for the transfer. The club explicitly mentioned the fee is undisclosed and I haven't seen it reported on any other media outlets. As such I will not be giving us any 2026 GAM for an outgoing transfer as it very well could have been a minimal amount just to get him off our books.

Roster Construction Notes: This will free up an senior and international roster slot as well as free up the 375,000$ GAM we needed to buy down his contract. Our cap his was also lowered by the maximum player salary amount, 683,750$
