Hull City: Jacob Greaves sends emotional message to Ozan Tufan after exit
Hull CityJacob Greaves
A summer of change was always to be expected at Hull City, but the first outgoing of the summer has no doubt been a blow to the club’s plans ahead of the new season.
Ozan Tufan proved to be a fans’ favourite throughout his time in Black and Amber since joining two years ago.
However, new head coach Tim Walter and the rest of the squad will have to make do without his services after his return to Türkiye, this time with Trabzonspor, was confirmed on Thursday afternoon.
Not only was Tufan popular with the supporters, but it was always clear that the playmaker had a profound connection with his teammates, particularly under the management of Walter’s predecessor Liam Rosenior, between November 2022 and last month when the 39-year-old was dismissed.
That connection has been proven by a response by a fellow Tigers ace on social media.

Centre-back Jacob Greaves has been another shining light in the City side for a long period of time, and the homegrown centre-back was one of many to react to the departure of his colleague.
The 23-year-old defender took to his Instagram profile to pen the message: “A special person! It was a pleasure to share the pitch and dressing room with you…”
“Thank you for everything and good luck my friend,” Greaves concluded.
Tufan’s own message to supporters read, “Dear Tigers, after two years with this special club, the time has come for me to start a new chapter in my life.”
“After all the things we shared together, it wasn’t an easy decision to leave here,” the 29-year-old added.
“From the moment I stepped onto the pitch, your cheers and encouragement made me feel at home. Your passion and dedication to the club are truly inspiring, and it has been an absolute honor to play for you,” he continued. “Thank you for embracing me as one of your own and for the unforgettable memories we created together.”
“To my teammates, coaches, and the entire Hull City staff, thank you for pushing me to be my best every single day. Your support has been invaluable, and I will always cherish the moments we shared during my time here.”
“I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our chairman (Acun Ilicali) and our vice chairman (Tan Kesler). Your guidance and leadership have been significant in shaping the club’s future, and I am profoundly grateful for the trust and opportunities you have given me.”
Tufan concluded: “I will carry all the experiences I had here for the rest of my life. I hope the future brings us the best.”
