PHILLIPS ON CHALLENGING PANDUR FOR NO1 ROLE AT CITY

- By JAMES SMAILES

Hull City have had something of a revolving door in the goalkeeping department in recent years with the trusted man between the sticks having seen the type of changes the managerial department has gone through.

Matt Ingram, Ryan Allsop, Anthony Racioppi and Carl Rushworth are among those to have left in the last year or so, while Thimothee Lo-Tutala has departed on loan to Doncaster for the forthcoming season.

With the impressive Ivor Pandur having grasped his opportunity to become City's most reliable player last season, what the Tigers needed this summer was someone to challenge the number one, but also provide the right type of character.

Thirty minutes with Dillon Phillips is enough to convince City have got a key bit of recruitment just right.

At 30-years-old Phillips arrives in East Yorkshire with a wealth of experience, not just of the Championship but of the lower leagues.
