Hull record signing Jimmy Bullard was ruled out yesterday for the rest of the season following knee surgery.

The 30-year-old midfielder joined the Tigers in a five million pounds move from Premier League rivals Fulham last month but has played just 37 minutes of football for his new club.

Bullard jarred his knee on his debut against West Ham on January 28 and underwent surgery in the United States.

It is not the first time Bullard has been forced out with a knee problem. He spent 16 months on the sidelines after sustaining a knee injury playing for Fulham in September 2006.
