Hull City defender Brian Lenihan has signed a new one-year deal, the club have announced.
The Tigers have the option of a further year on the 22-year-old right-back, who has been dogged by injury since joining from Cork City in 2014.
Lenihan signed a three-year deal when he arrived at the club but has been restricted to one first-team appearance due to a series of recurring injuries and having knee surgery last summer.
He spent time on loan at Blackpool during the 2014/15 season and has represented the Republic of Ireland at Under-19 and Under-21 level and was called into the senior squad during their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
