In 1978, Lloyd joined Hull F.C. for a fee of £12,000 (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £106,900 in 2014). In his first home game for the club, he converted 14 goals in a 61–10 win against Oldham, equalling Jim Kennedy's club record for the most goals scored in a single match. The record was subsequently also equalled by Matt Crowther, who is coincidently Lloyd's nephew.
