Altidore back at Hull City after Haiti crisis

Hull City striker Jozy Altidore is ready to rejoin the club's Premiership survival bid.

The Tigers hitman, 20, missed the last two games on compassionate leave after the earthquake on Haiti.

Both his parents are from Haiti and the United States striker still has relatives living there.

But, after being re-assured they had all survived the disaster, Altidore is ready to focus again on his football.

The Villarreal loanee said: "It is at times like this you put life into perspective and realise what is really important.

"Now it is just nice to be able to get back to football with a clear head."
