HULL CITY: Cooper gets new deal

YOUNG Hull City centre back Liam Cooper has signed a new three year deal with the Tigers.

The 18-year-old is being lined up to play more of a prominent role between now and the end of the season, especially in the absence of long-term injury victims at the back Anthony Gardner and Kamil Zayette.

Cooper made his Premier League debut against Liverpool at Anfield in the 6-1 defeat and came on at the KC Stadium on Saturday in the 2-1 loss against Arsenal.
