King signs new deal

2:42pm Thursday 24th July 2008

Hull prop Paul King has ended speculation over his future by signing a new two-year contract at the KC Stadium.

The 29-year-old former Great Britain international has spent his entire career with his hometown club, having made his debut at the age of 17.

King, who is currently sidelined with a broken foot, said: "I think everyone knows I am black and white through and through and getting this new deal is fantastic news for me. I have never wanted to play for another club and I believe I still have plenty to offer the club."

Head coach Richard Agar added: "We gave him a one-year deal last time on the proviso that we wanted to see some improvements in certain areas, and he has certainly done that.

"It has been a difficult year for Paul with his injury, but he showed enough form early on in the year to suggest he still has plenty of football left in him."

The Guardian sent its very own cardsharp, sports reporter ROSS DAVIES, to try and win the special prize by knocking out Mr Al Turk.
