Hull City's record signing Jimmy Bullard has hailed the club's medical team for making sure he returned when it was right.

Bullard just returned to action after a ten-month injury lay-off, against his former club Fulham last month.

But his comeback had to be delayed after he picked up a shin injury.

The £5million man, is though, quick to pay tribute to City's backroom staff for getting him back to fitness.

"I thank the staff and physios," he said.

"I was gagging to get out there but they put the reins on sometimes and they know what's best when you are too eager."

"I played in a reserve game the day after Fulham and took a big whack on the shin. I worried a little bit, it was just a little bit down from the knee.

"We had a long chat and decided it wasn't worth the risk. I'd waited nine months, so what was another game."
