Hull City

After starting his career at Leeds United from the age of 5, Batty was released by Leeds at under 16's level,[3] after being released by Leeds, Batty joined Hull City at the age of 15 and was involved with the first team squad on several occasions during the 2016–17 season.[4] On 22 August 2017, he made his debut in a 2–0 EFL Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers.[5] On 6 May 2018, he made his full league debut for the club in the final match of the 2017–18 season, a 1–1 away draw to Brentford.[6] On 11 June 2020, Batty agreed a short-term contract extension to cover the extended 2019–20 season,[7] and on 26 June 2020, the club took up an option for a year extension to his contract.[8]
