Hull City have organised an extra game to assist midfielder Jimmy Bullard in his bid to return to full fitness.

With the international break on this weekend, Tigers boss Phil Brown wants the 30-year old to get more game time into his legs after his knee injury and has booked a match with Conference club York City next week.

If Bullard can get through most of the 90 minutes, he may return to Premier League action next weekend against former club Fulham which he is chomping at the bit to do.

"The last two months have been the worst. You are so close and you can't stop wanting to be back out on the pitch," Bullard said.
