Hull City boss Steve Bruce admits Maynor Figueroa is playing his way to a new deal.
The Honduran's return from the wilderness has pleased Bruce and, in turn, the City boss has offered hope for Figueroa to win a new deal.
"He's done terrifically well and reminded us what a good player he is, which is great for him," said Bruce.
"That's just the response you want. He had an awful time this time last year when he lost form but his response is typical of what Maynor is.
"The way he's played in the last couple of games, where do you get someone like him on a free transfer?
"He's right in my thoughts (for a contract extension) so we'll just wait and see."
