Jimmy Bullard is closing on a return to action for Hull City Football Club.

The talented midfielder has been out since suffering medial ligament damage in December, but he could return against West Ham United at the weekend.

"It's still very early stages of Jimmy's comeback," boss Phil Brown told the Hull Daily Mail. "He has been out on the training ground with the first team and been floating around in training situations.

"It's been non-contact stuff at the minute. He's feeling his way back in at the minute and the players, more than anyone, are aware of what he's capable of."
