Chadwick turns 21 in January and has made five appearances for Hull this season, making his senior debut in the Football League Trophy in September in a 2-1 home defeat to Leicester under 21s, setting up Hull's goal in that game.

All his first-team appearances so far this season have been as a substitute, with the others coming against Harrogate and Crewe in the Football League Trophy, and against Leeds in the League Cup and Stevenage in the FA Cup.

Chadwick, who has emerged from the club's academy, signed a new contract with The Tigers last month until the summer of 2022, with the option of a further year.

Speaking to the Hull Daily Mail when Chadwick signed his new deal, Tigers boss Grant McCann said: "We love him, the coaching staff love him, the players love him.

“He’s been involved in and around our first-team squad this season. If he’s not on the bench, he’s travelling with the group.

“He’s been around the Papa John’s Trophy games and come on.

“He’s a really good kid, low maintenance, wants to work, loves it at Hull. This is his club and he’s come through the system.

“He can play numerous positions in the frontline – off the left, off the right, as a nine.

“He’s an unbelievable kid who just wants to learn, wants to get better. He will get better and he is getting better."
