The 27-year-old was diagnosed with the condition in August and has now completed successful treatment.

"Angus has shown tremendous courage and strength of character during the most challenging of periods."

The Tigers added that they were "looking forward to seeing Angus back in and around the club".

MacDonald missed almost all of last season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in November 2018.

The centre-half, who started his career with Reading and joined Hull from Barnsley in January 2018, previously suffered from a blood clot on the lung at the age of 15, but made a full recovery.

Hull City players warmed up in shirts with MacDonald 15 on the back before their game against Wigan in September
