The 2017/18 season saw an upturn in the Citizens' fortunes, after acquiring a number of players and staff from Hanson Jewellers who played the previous season in the league above, as well as several players returning from previous successful seasons for United. Positive results which started off the season continued throughout the campaign, keeping then in promotion contention, and also saw a good cup run in which they reached the semi-final of the Humber Premier League Cup against Pocklington, which they lost 2-0. They achieved promotion after finishing 2nd place.  2018/19 saw the team competing in the Humber Premier League Premier Division once again, but it was a difficult start for them as they won only one of their opening 7 games, drawing one and losing 5. However, after a couple of experienced additions to the squad they managed to turn things around. They finished the season in a very respectable 5th position, however their main success came in the Humber Premier League cup, winning the final on penalties after holding Chalk Lane to a draw in normal time, with Chalk Lane hoping to win the league and cup double for a second season in a row. This was United's second cup win since their rebrand in 2014, after winning it in their first season in 2014/15. They also reached the quarter final of the East Riding Senior Cup once again playing Chalk Lane but lost 2-1. The following season 2019/20 brought a rather mixed campaign in terms on league form, with lack of consistency being a big problem. Once again there were impressive cup runs though, in both the East Riding Senior Cup, with wins against East Hull and Hemingborough setting up a semi-final tie against North Ferriby F.C., and the Whitehead's Cup where they were unable to retain the trophy after a semi-final defeat against Pocklington. The season was declared null and void in March 2020, along with all other non-league football from step 7 down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Former professionals to have played for the club include:  Chairman: Ciarán Phipps  Vice Chairman: Dave Goldsmith  Chief Executive Officer: John Duffill Secretary: Steve White Press Officer: John Duffill  Manager: John Duffill Assistant Manager: Steve White Coach: Mike Stansfield Coach: Dave Goldsmith Youth Football Officer (U'13's - U'18's: Kenny Sayers)  Women's Team Manager: Kev Drewry Women's Team Assistant Manager: Mark Womersley  Physio: Club Captain: Lewis Poucher  On the 8th of June 2020, Hull United's social media accounts announced that the team would be setting up a women's team at level 6 in the pyramid, meaning that they'd be able to compete in the Women's FA Cup.
