Roy Hodgson fully expects Jimmy Bullard to stay at Fulham Football Club.

The midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from Craven Cottage this month, but manager Hodgson claims this isn’t even an option.

"There is no change in our position, we want and expect Jimmy to stay here," he said. "He has a year and a half left on his contract and 18 months is a long time in football.

“So until something happens to the contrary I will be counting on him as a Fulham player."
