Hull United A.F.C. is a football club based in Hull, England. They play at the Steve Prescott Centre having formerly played at Dene Park and KC Lightstream Stadium. They were members of Division One of the Northern Counties East League after they were granted promotion from the Humber Premier League in the 2014–15 season, only to be demoted after next season. They are currently members of the Humber Premier League Division One.
The club was formed in 2005 as St Andrews Police Club, and were founder members of Division One of the Humber Premier League. In 2007–08 the club won Division One, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 2009 they changed their name to St Andrews, and then to Hull United in 2014, when the club was rebranded, adopting a new nickname ("the Citizens") and changing their kit colours to black and white, echoing Hull City's original kit.
Originally based at East Mount Recreation Centre, following their re-branding as Hull United the club moved to Dene Park, located in the village of Dunswell on the northern outskirts of Hull. The ground was originally the home of fellow Northern Counties East League side Hall Road Rangers F.C., who continued to share the ground with United before relocating to Haworth Park ahead of the 2015/16 season. On 15 August 2015 the club renamed the ground the "Breathe for Cameron Stadium" after local child, Cameron Good, who had died due to asthmatic complications during a football match he was involved in. In January 2015 the club appointed Curtis Woodhouse as manager, replacing chairman Jamie Waltham, with fellow ex-Hull City teammate Ian Ashbee also joining as his assistant. One of the club's biggest matches came in March 2015 when I they played Hull City Under-21s in the East Riding Senior Cup, beating them 3–2. Following this win, they progressed to the final where they met Bridlington Town at the KC Stadium with Bridlington eventually winning 4–2. After the club finished as Humber Premier Division runners-up at the end of the 2014–15 season, they were admitted to Division One of the Northern Counties East League. It was announced in June 2015 that assistant manager Ian Ashbee was taking over as club chairman, combining the two roles.
