Hull boss Phil Brown insists he has no intentions of walking away from the club.

Brown's side have taken the Premier League by storm since sealing promotion to the top-flight from the play-offs last term.

The Tigers have shown they are capable of matching anyone at the highest level - highlighted by their famous victory at Arsenal over the weekend.

South Shields-born Brown has been linked with a return to his native North East with Newcastle - but he has insisted he is more than happy with life at The KC Stadium.

Flattered

"It is flattering to be linked with big clubs as it shows you must be doing well, but I am an honourable and loyal guy," Brown told the Daily Mirror.

"I'm very proud to have been given the contract I've got at Hull and the way I see it, I've got a massive job to do here.

"My future is most definitely with Hull."

Hull chairman Paul Duffen also insists that he has no doubt Brown would be staying at the club.

"The challenge for Phil is to be patient," he admitted.

"He's very capable of managing a successful Premier League side and quite possibly capable of managing a big club at this level."
