Hull signing Ben Arfa has played last game for Newcastle

Hull City loan signing Hatem Ben Arfa has played his last game for Newcastle United.

Ben Arfa's Toon deal expires in June and his loan agreement does not include a recall option.

The Evening Chronicle says the midfielder has been in conflict with the Newcastle manager all summer and on Saturday one of his lawyers suggested that a complaint would be filed with the Football Association if he continued to be instructed to train with the reserves.

The Newcastle boss feels he is a disruptive presence and there have been suggestions that the dressing room dynamic will be improved by Ben Arfa's departure.
