Anthony Gardner is looking forward to playing regular first-team football after completing his loan switch from Tottenham to Hull City.

The 27-year-old made almost 150 appearances for Spurs but failed to appear in the first team since October 2007.

After completing a five-month loan switch to the KC Stadium, Gardner said: "I feel I can get back to where I was. I'm 100 per cent confident as long as I'm playing regularly.

"Playing week-in and week-out is how you get your rhythm and that's what I'm striving to get back to.

"Coming to Hull and playing regularly can give me that and it will benefit my game and hopefully Hull City as well.

"I do feel like I've got a bit of a point to prove now. Not playing regularly and being at a big club where there's lots of competition, it got very frustrating.

"Spurs are a club where you've got internationals in every position and sometimes it's difficult to cement a place and play week-in and week-out.

"Over the last two years I haven't played regularly either through that or through fitness. I'm looking to stay fit and play games, that's my first port of call."
