    Grimsby have just confirmed that his loan has been extended to January.

    Looks like he's resigned to leaving:

    The former Chesterfield, Carlisle, Scunthorpe and Dundee United loanee admits his future almost certainly lies away from the KC Stadium.

    "It's my fifth year as a pro and I've only played for Hull once," he told BBC Radio Humberside.

    "When you're coming through you dream of playing for the team but I have to build a career for myself.

    "I'm enjoying my time here and I'll do the best I can and see what happens in January."

    He'll be another like Wiseman who does well in lower leagues, the coaching staff must think he's not up to scratch and you'd think they would know better than us forum pundits

    If he's not up to scratch why give him a year's extension to his contract some 4 months ago.

    I think SB was playing safe and having cover for Robertson at the time. Since then Clucas has come in and he can cover that position if necessary.

    Did he play a lot for Dundee?
    Seems strange he cant get better than Grimsby.

    Played 19 times in total, he returned to us in early Feb, as I think they signed a permanent left back in the window and no longer needed him.

    Could be way off here but i remember he was in a group of players who went out on the lash and it pissed off Mcnamara. He was dropped for a game or two and shortly after came back.

    I think keeping him is belts and braces, the one year deal an acknowledgement that Grimsby (or another such club) will let him shine and he can then plot his own future elsewhere - it's a decent way forward for all concerned.

    Bruce would never have played him. If McGregor and Jak got injured he'd play an outfielder in goal before using someone from the academy.
