Steve Bruce has walked out of Hull City.

The Mirror says Bruce has stunned Hull by leaving the club just 21 days before the new Premier League season.

The now former Tigers boss, was touted for the England job before Sam Allardyce moved ahead of him in the race, leaves after four years in East Yorkshire.

Tensions are high with fan protests and walkouts continuing against owner Assem Allam, who has so far refused to sanction the sale of the club.

Add to that a lack of summer recruitment and an ever-lengthening injury list and Bruce has apparently now decided his time is now up.
