Hull pull out of Cresswell deal

The two clubs had agreed a fee and the 29-year-old had settled on personal terms but the Tigers expressed concerns after the player's medical.

Chairman Paul Duffen said: "We weren't 100% happy with the outcome.

"There was an element of risk involved, which I've decided isn't where we should be, seeing as there is a big financial committment involved."

Cresswell scored 11 goals in 44 appearances for Leeds since joining from Preston for £1.5m in 2005, and was being watched by two other clubs.

Hull had turned to him after failing in bids for Sheffield United's Christian Nade and Ipswich's Alan Lee.

However, striker Michael Bridges will be staying at Hull and has spoken of his delight after the club turned down a bid from Grimsby.

"It was nice the manager turned the bid down, last season it might have been a different story," he told the club website.

"I want to give something back to the Hull fans. I want to help the team into the top half of the table."
