Tigers rule out Mills return

Hull City will be unable to bring loan star Danny Mills back to the club in the January transfer window, as the Manchester City full-back is still struggling with an injury.
The former England defender is still troubled by a shin problem sustained during his time with Hull at the end of last year and is nowhere near fit enough to make a return to the Championship club.
Tigers boss Phil Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: "We've been in regular contact since he left the club and he phoned me at the weekend to let me know the extent of his injury.
"It's a situation where it would have been nice to bring Danny back to the club, because he would have been a welcome addition to the squad.
"But it's not the end of the world for us. If I can't get Danny back we'll look elsewhere."
