Steve Bruce says he doesn't see Hull City as a stepping stone.

Bruce has pledged his future to Hull - because he wants to turn the Tigers into a Premier League force.

He said: "I want to make sure this club gets established in the top flight.

"We had a great time in my first year and we've had a wonderful three-quarters of a season in the Premier League.

"We must finish it off and make certain we stay here next season."
