No nonsense defender, Hull's most expensive defender upon signing in 2007. A bit part player in Ipswich's 2001 European qualification
It took a club record fee for a defender of £450,000 to prise this former Ipswich and Watford player from Colchester to Hull in July 2007, but it proved money well spent as he played in all but two of the Tigers’ league games as they won promotion from the Championship in 2007/08.
A safety-first central defender who is powerful in the air and comfortable on the ball, he is one of only a handful of Hull players to boast previous Premiership experience, having played four times in the top flight with Ipswich as they finished fifth in 2000/01.
