Bruce hails goalscorer Meyler’s enthusiasm

Hull City manager Steve Bruce hailed David Meyler after the Republic of Ireland international’s first goal in English football helped Hull City to a 2-1 win at Watford on Saturday that lifted them to fourth in the Championship table.

Meyler’s first half header gave the Tigers the lead before his international team-mate Robbie Brady made it 2-0 with a fine free-kick.

Bruce worked with Meyler during his time in charge of Sunderland and hailed the on-loan midfielder’s contribution.
