Nicky Barmby admits he's yet to hear from Hull City about a new contract.

"That is football. You sign a contract and then get your head down and try and earn a new one," he told Sky Sports News.

"That is how it works in football, that is no problem to me. I will keep my head down and keep working hard and hopefully stay in the first team."

Barmby insists that he has no problems with the fact talks have not yet begun.

"It is up to the club, I am sure they will say something one way or another so it is not a problem," he said.
