HULL CITY: Myhill pens new three-year deal
Boaz Myhill has put pen to paper on a new three-year contract with Hull City.
As first revealed by the Mail, the goalkeeper has been in talks throughout summer and has now finalised a suitable deal.

Tigers keeper Boaz Myhill
Having initially joined for £50,000 from Aston Villa, the 26-year-old has become a reliable fixture in the sticks.
He had to compete for his place alongside Matt Duke last season, but has started the current campaign in good form and the Wales international is currently the Tigers' number one.
"He stepped up to the plate very admirably last season, albeit in difficult circumstances with Matt Duke breathing down his neck all year," Tigers boss Phil Brown told the club's official website.
Myhill will now be at the club until the end of the 2011-12 season.

“Maybe all the new signings have convinced Bo that this is the place to be. Of course the contract does not prevent him going in the next window, but I for one am glad he is here. Also, he does seem to improved a little bit in the box - hope he is working on it feverishly. UTT.”

“Paul - If duffen was such an assest stripper why wasn't Myhill sold in Jan? Several clubs registered an interest including Juve. In January his sale value was much higher he was doing well and Hull were flying high, so interms of business that was the prime time to sell him. So Paul, even after these facts and the fact Turner has come and said he wanted to leave and the the fact that Duffen & Co have spent millions on players and renovating the training ground. Why Paul why is Duffen an asset stripper come on explain to us all, you are clearly more insightful than the rest of us, you must understand why he could of sold the club for huge profit upon promotion he didn't despite being an assest stripper, please ENLIGHTEN US!”
