Hulse relieved over Derby safety

The club's player of the year scored his 18th goal of the season as Derby beat Charlton 1-0 on Saturday to confirm their Championship status. And the 29-year-old, who joined from Sheffield United last summer, was thrilled that the nervous wait was over. "It's just a massive relief to secure our Championship status for next season," Hulse told the Derby Telegraph. "It's been a big season with lots of ups and downs. I'm just delighted that we've hung on."
