Giles was one of Hull's most creative players during the promotion campaign, finishing the season as the club's chief chance creator with eight Championship assists and 41 key passes while providing a consistent attacking threat from the left-back position throughout the season.

Analysis: Giles's ability to get forward, deliver dangerous crosses and combine with the attackers ahead of him made him one of the standout performers in the division, and his output from a defensive position was remarkable. His highly offensive style as a left wingback was one of the defining features of Hull's promotion campaign, constantly threatening down the flank and creating danger in the final third, with his set-piece responsibilities adding yet another creative dimension to his game. The Premier League will be a significant test of his defensive capabilities, but his creative output, delivery from the left side and set-piece quality give Hull City a dynamic and exciting option in that position heading into the new campaign.
