Duke recalled by Hull

24 March 2011 15:00
Derby loanee Matt Duke has returned to his parent club Hull. The 33-year-old was due to remain as the number one for the final eight games of the season after the conclusion of Frank Fielding's loan from Blackburn. However, Derby were informed the Tigers wished to recall the shotstopper early from his emergency loan at Pride Park. Duke joined up with Nigel Clough's outfit at the start of March to act as back-up to Fielding, failing to make a single appearance for the first team. He returns to the KC Stadium to act as cover for Brad Guzan, following injuries to second-choice keeper Mark Oxley and on-loan Vito Mannone.
