Tigers go cold on Wright

Hull City manager Phil Brown has opted to end his interest in signing Sunderland defender Stephen Wright.
The 28-year-old former Liverpool full-back was on the verge of moving to the KC Stadium on loan last month, only to suffer a groin injury just before the deal was set to be finalised.
The Tigers have decided not to resurrect the possible switch, with Brown telling the Hull Daily Mail: "We've decided to go cold on Stephen Wright.
"Having done our investigations, we've decided against taking him on loan."
Wright has failed to feature in Sunderland's Premier League fixtures so far this season and returned to Wearside from a loan spell with Stoke City last month.
