It’s just what it’s about, just coming in and being excited to get back out to train, to be in an environment where I’m able to improve,” Carvalho beams to the ECHO.

“It’s what I’ve been asking for for the past 12-18 months and it’s what I’ve got right now, so I’m just happy.

“You can tell that I’m happy off the pitch, which translates onto the pitch.



“Just being able to score against them, those are games where we could have got more from the game itself, more points which is crucial and the most important thing.

“I’m just happy to be able to contribute and hopefully I can contribute more in the future.”

Having won the Championship title with Fulham in 2022, Carvalho has been here before when it comes to chasing promotion.

I’m just going to do what I think is best for me and I’m going to make my own decisions.

There is no ‘snobbery’ here from a player who has clearly fully bought in at Hull and is determined to help them win promotion.

He continued: “We have not just me but we have players who have been promoted before, from League One to the Championship.

We just clicked instantly and I just knew it was a no-brainer to come here.”

Carvalho concedes he feels like he is making up for lost time at Hull, after his initial temporary move to RB Leipzig did not go to plan.

While he made 15 appearances for the German outfit, he started just once apiece in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
