Career to date
The Cottingham-born midfielder has risen up through the academy of his local side.
He broke into the Under-18s side before more recently getting into Andy Dawson’s Under-23s.
Hull handed him his first professional contract over the summer and he played in a pre-season friendly against Manchester United Under-23s shortly after.
Academy doing good work
The Tigers have seen academy graduates like Jacob Greaves and Keane Lewis-Potter rise into the first-team picture over recent times and will be hoping the next batch of young stars can follow suit.
Lovick has become the latest player to leave the MKM Stadium on loan and Grant McCann’s side have a few away at the moment such as Festus Arthur (Barrow), Ahmed Salam (Linfield), Callum Jones (Morecambe), Harvey Cartright (Gainsborough) and Josh Hinds (Spalding United).

The Tigers’ first-team are unbeaten in their past six games and are back in action this weekend away at Nottingham Forest.
