fee of £20,000, which could have risen to £60,000 depending on appearances. He was a regular starter at Burton, having made 78 league appearances for them in his three seasons at the club, but at Hull he spent several seasons mainly being used as cover for first-choice goalkeeper
Boaz Myhill, making few first-team appearances and spending time on
loan at
Stockport County and
Wycombe Wanderers. in 2010 In
2007–08, Duke impressed sufficiently in a
League Cup match against
Crewe to retain his place in the Hull team for the subsequent league game and demote Myhill to the bench. He was also selected for the next two matches, but a thigh injury prevented him from finally getting a run in the team. On 5 January 2008, Duke underwent an operation to remove a
testicular tumour. He returned to the squad on 29 March to take his place on the bench for a 3–0 victory against
Watford. On 1 June 2008, Duke completed the "Keep Your Eye On The Ball" 5 km run in London's
Victoria Park, in aid of the
Everyman Campaign cancer charity. In September 2008, Duke, manager
Phil Brown, chairman
Paul Duffen and other Hull City colleagues participated in Everyman's "
Tacheback" campaign, growing moustaches to raise sponsorship money for the charity. In Hull City's debut
Premier League season in
2008–09, Duke again started the season as Myhill's understudy. He impressed however when given his chance in League Cup and
FA Cup matches, keeping two clean sheets against
Newcastle, which resulted in him being called up to make his Premier League debut on 28 January 2009 against
West Ham. Although Hull City lost the game 2–0, Duke saved a penalty and was City's
man-of-the-match. He retained his place in the side for the next nine league games.
Derby County On 4 March 2011,
Derby County confirmed that they have signed Duke on loan from Hull City until the end of the season. The loan period was cut short when he was recalled by Hull City following an injury to reserve keeper
Mark Oxley. On 10 May 2011, following the end of the 2010–11 season, it was confirmed by the club that Duke had been released from Hull City along with three other players, ending seven years of service to the club. He began training with
