Making over 150 appearances and reaching an FA Cup Final, he ended his playing days with Brighton in 2018.

According to respected journalist Alan Nixon, the former England youth international has had talked with the Tigers and the club have him as first choice to replace Shota Arveladze- who left in September.

Potentially being in place as soon as the weekend, Reading could face the former defender as soon as next month.

A trip to Humberside is Paul Ince's final task before a break for the 2022 World Cup.

Hull city 16th in the Championship, below expectations following the players they brought in during the transfer window.
