Little agrees new Hull deal

Little led Hull to the play-offs

Hull City boss Brian Little has agreed a new contract which will keep him at Boothferry Park until 2006.

Little took over at the club in April 2000 and led Hull into the play-offs via sixth place last season despite a turbulent campaign off the pitch.

Hull lost to Leyton Orient in the semi-final of the play-offs but former Aston Villa boss Little is planning more success.

"I'm delighted to have got the contract sorted out," Little told the club's official website.

"It's my job to make sure we compete well and that's what I'll concentrate on.

"We've had a busy summer in the transfer market and have worked really hard to bring in the players we wanted.

"It may take a while for things to come together, only time will tell whether we've gone down the right channels."
