Hull City pencil in Oldham date for Matty Fryatt's return
MATTY Fryatt could be in line to make his return from injury next week as he steps up his bid to feature in the climax of Hull City's season.
After seven months on the sidelines recovering from surgery on his Achilles, Fryatt has been welcomed back into full training with open arms this week.

Eye on the prize: Hull City striker Matty Fryatt
The final stages of his rehabilitation will see the 27-year-old target a comeback fixture and that could come in Stephen Clemence's reserves side next week.
City travel to Oldham on Tuesday and though a final decision on Fryatt's involvement is yet to be made, it is a fixture under consideration by the Tigers' medical staff.

"We'll see how he is after coming back into full training but that could be a possibility," said manager Steve Bruce, in reference to next week's game at Oldham.
"He trained Monday and Tuesday and he could still be a big plus for us in the last few weeks of the season.
"It's clear he's kept himself in magnificent nick and given himself the best possible chance to come back as soon as he can.
"We still have to be careful with him. We'll wait and see if there's any sort of reaction first but it's been promising to see him back involved. I certainly hope he's still got some part to play this season."
Fryatt's role in City's campaign is destined to be minimal after he sustained an Achilles injury in the League Cup win over Rotherham on August 11.
The former Leicester striker, who finished the last two seasons as the Tigers' top goalscorer, is yet to play a single minute of the Championship season, but is on course to pep up City's attack during April.
The most Fryatt could hope for at Oldham would be a 45-minute cameo but an arduous road back to fitness is nearing its end.

“Matty us a natural goalscorer. This is great news. Aluko, Gedo and Matty are three strikers who consistently bag goals having two will help the club no end. Congratulations Matty you must be buzzing!”

“@DeeGee
I have no doubt in my mind that we would have long since cemented 1st place in the league had Fryatt been fit.
When I think of the wasted goal opportunities that were squandered earlier in the season, I think "if only Fryatt was on the pitch, it would have been back of the net".
Luckily since January, we have been taking more of these opportunities, however our inability to keep the clean sheet worries me.
I also feel that the International break should be spent practicing free kicks & corners as we seem to fail miserably with these at the moment.

“Fingers crossed for Matty,He will be a Great asset to the squad in the run in.Even when playing the lone striker in the Pearson regime which we saw VERY regular he always gave 100% similar to the Boyd style of being" Here there and everywhere" But working with the type of people in the team now I am sure he will soon be scoring many goals..Best of Luck Matty”

“Missed him.
I wonder if we would be at the top of this league and almost home and dry had he been available all season?”
