Hull recall Parkin

Hull manager Phil Brown has decided to recall Jon Parkin from his loan spell at Stoke. Defeat at the weekend has left The Tigers deep in relegation trouble and have opted to recall the inform striker.

This news will be a great dissapointment to Tony Pulis and Stoke fans alike who have sen Parkin strike up a very promising partnership with Ricardo Fuller that has seen them each find the net in each of the last three games.

With Mama Sidibe out injured it leaves Pulis to decide between Vincent Pericard and youngster Martin Paterson to partner Fuller in attack for Saturday's vitally important trip to Cardiff.
