Tigers retain Campbell hope

Hull City boss Phil Brown is hopeful of being able to re-sign Manchester United hot-shot Fraizer Campbell again this season.
Campbell, 20, scored 15 goals as the Tigers won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs while on a season-long loan at the KC Stadium last year.
The striker is now back in training at Old Trafford, but Brown believes he could return to the newly-promoted club following their pre-season tour to South Africa.
"I spoke at length with Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of the season, having kept him up to speed with the progress Fraizer Campbell had made all season," revealed Brown.
"He was adamant that all his players would come back for pre-season training.
"When they come back from South Africa there is an opportunity to talk again.
"I fully trust Sir Alex's word on that and when they come back from South Africa I will be putting a call in. There is always a possibility.
"It is difficult. There are one or two strikers out there we have earmarked as priority but if Fraizer Campbell became available we would certainly be interested in taking him, either permanent or on loan."
