[i"The prop Paul King is also expected to leave the KC Stadium to link up with Kear at Wakefield as a replacement for James Stosic, who has been released by Trinity after failing to secure a Macedonian passport that would have exempted from the club's overseas quota."[/i

any insider information on this one?

wakefeild

gee thanks

Very possible. Tommy's supposedly already at Celtic. And Thacks was suppose to be following him, although Thacks was out at the weekend!!!

Deffo signed for Wakey

He'll be at home. Theres a cracking pub just across the road from Belle-Whatever-its-called-this-month, just like at the KC

Best of luck to him. On his day he's a tremendous forward, just keep him out of the pub.

Tell me about it! Reckon this could be another Kear/Broadbent 'project'. I know he's 30 but he needs to get his career back on track and sort his head out a la Richie Moore style. Doubt he'll be on a big wage but rather an incentive of an improved deal at the end of the season if he can recapture the form he showed for you four or five years ago. When he's on top of his game there's no doubting his ability, hopefully our coaching staff can get his game back on track.

He's managed to control Brough, Moore, Bibey, all three came with bad reputations and Latus no angel either. Its not just Kear either he's got a more than able assistant in Beans a former GB prop who works closely with the forwards. I'm not saying we will see the best of him as I can't look in to the future but with his record so far at our club in JK I trust.

broadbent played alongside king at FC as well for a while

I thought he'd been released- why is he getting involved in our pre-season training programme

King woud be a god buy for Wakey. Money is tight at the club, but Kear manages things well in that respect, alwways putting out a good blend of youth and experience.
In repsonse to other comments, its true that Kingy's decline really began under Kear, although I think at the time that was more due to injury - so I don't see any reason their is a problem between them.
All in all, this is a good result. King gets a chance to get his game together and Hull can move on hopefully giving a squad number to another youngster.

I would just like to wish him luck wherever he goes. I think the move would do him good.

christ let me pick myself off the floor with that revelation
