Hull City's Andy Dawson: A career timeline
Andy Dawson’s new one-year contract extension with Hull City is due to be approved in the next 48 hours.
The 33-year-old defender’s previous City deal expired over the weekend, and although new contract terms were agreed last season, Nick Barmby’s departure meant Dawson’s future was unclear.
