Meyler delighted playing for Hull boss Bruce

Hull City midfielder David Meyler is delighted to be playing for manager Steve Bruce.

The 24-year-old from Cork has blossomed under Bruce.

He described the sales pitch that persuaded him to follow manager Bruce from Sunderland to Hull:

"When I spoke to him, he said, 'Meyler, I want you to come and be a part of this'. I said, 'How do I know you are going to be promoted?' So he just said, 'Trust me, I will get this team promoted'.

"And within one year he did. You've got to give him credit for that. It just goes to show what a great manager he is."
