Windass: Hull frustration
Dean Windass is set for showdown talks with Hull boss Phil Brown this week after voicing his frustration at a lack of first-team opportunities.
The 39-year-old striker has made just one Premier League appearance after scoring the goal that took the Tigers into the top flight for the first time in their history.
Brown did not even name him as a substitute against Everton on Sunday and Windass has revealed he may seek a move away from his home-town club.
"These are strange times for me at the club I love as however much I'm enjoying seeing Hull City play in the Premier League, I'm getting more and more frustrated about not being involved," he wrote in his blog on itv.com.
"And it looked even bleaker on Sunday when I wasn't even named on the bench for the 2-2 draw with Everton. It was the first time in 18 years that I'd been fit but wasn't involved and it hurt like hell.
"I've got a meeting with manager Phil Brown this week to discuss my future and if he tells me that this is the way it's going to be then I will have to consider my options."
Windass has already played for seven clubs since beginning his professional career with Hull in 1991 and insists he is willing to move on again so that he can continue playing regular football into his 40s.
"I'm not one of these footballers who doesn't mind picking up a cheque every week for not playing and I also don't want to train every day and then end up taking the dog for a walk on a Saturday," he added.
"At the start of the season the manager made positive noises about me, saying I had a role at the club this season, and I want to see if this is still the case. If not then fine, but tell me and I'll go and play somewhere else.
"I've always said I'd like to carry on playing until I was 42 and I still think it can be with Hull City in the Premier League, but it's his opinion that counts the most and if he tells me differently I'll accept it and move on."
