Hull City goalkeeper Boaz Myhill is hoping to complete a return to the Premier League by helping the Tigers win the Championship play-off final against Bristol City.

The 25-year-old opted to leave Aston Villa in December 2003 after failing to break into the first-team picture and has since become recognised as one of the top keepers outside of the top-flight.

Myhill told The Daily Telegraph: "We came to an agreement at Aston Villa that I was never going to play there, I wasn't ready.

"I wanted to play and I was fed up of playing two or three reserve games a month and basically doing nothing else but train.

"I think leaving was probably the right thing to do and I don't hold any regrets.

"It's a club I've always supported, but things don't always work out the way you want them to in football and sometimes you have to leave clubs and work hard in order to improve

"I'd like to think that's what I've done at Hull."
