I want to prove that I am a good player but also a good man.[LNB]'Once the directors of Zamalek told me that I had permission to speak to Hull City I could not wait to get back to England.[LNB]'I met with the manager (Phil Brown) and the chairman (Adam Pearson). They are good people and made me feel wanted.'[LNB] Odd one out: Zaki fell out of favour at Wigan[LNB]Zaki won't be considered for this weekend's trip to Manchester United as he is short of match fitness but is hoping to be fit for the crucial game against Wolves in 11 days' time.[LNB]Back in contention: Jimmy Bullard [LNB]He added: 'I will be working hard on my fitness and I hope to be available for the manager to select me as soon as possible.[LNB]'The Premier League is the best league in the world and I can't wait to be involved on a matchday again.[LNB]'I talked with Mr Brown and I explained that I want to work hard in the Premier League, score goals and help Hull City.'[LNB]Tigers boss Brown is also hoping Jimmy Bullard will return from a knee injury for the Wolves clash.[LNB]Speaking from the team's training camp in Tenerife, Brown said: 'Jimmy has come away with us and we'll be condensing his work to two or three sessions a day for a full week, and hopefully then he'll get back in the group.[LNB]'With the Manchester United game being brought forward three days, that probably puts Jimmy at too much of a risk. But I'm still confident that Jimmy will play some part in the Wolves game.'
