Hull City U18’s suffered a 2-0 defeat in their first Professional Development League game of 2021 against Birmingham City.
A brace from Kieran Wakefield secured the visitors all three points at Bishop Burton College.
John Anderson and Matt Hare made six changes to the starting eleven that were defeated 6-1 last time out against Crewe Alexandra. Josh Ward made his long awaited return from injury after three months out, while seven first-year scholars and three members of the Under-16 side were named in the match day squad.
Birmingham opened the scoring after just eight minutes as Wakefield latched onto a long ball before clinically finishing with a low shot into the bottom corner.
