Henderson grateful for Bould Hull call

Conor Henderson has thanked his former Arsenal assistant manager Steve Bould for helping him secure a Premier League lifeline at Hull City.

Released by the Gunners last summer following just one first-team appearance in an FA Cup tie, the former Ireland U21 midfielder had a move to Ipswich Town lined up.

However, Mick McCarthy reversed his decision to sign the player, leaving him at a loose end with the season about the start. There was interest expressed by Yeovil Town but, out of nowhere, came an approach from Steve Bruce.
