Craig Fagan

Striker Craig Fagan is one of Hull City's most exciting players, having signed for the club on loan in March 2008 and making the move permanent in July.

He began his career at Birmingham City, but only managed to notch up one appearance in two years at St Andrews.

A successful loan move to Colchester inspired a move there in 2004, but it didn't last long and Fagan was again on his travels in 2005, joining Hull City for an undisclosed fee.

Under different managers with City, Fagan played as both an out-and-out striker and right winger and managed to adapt to both well.

Such fine form attracted the interest of Derby County in January 2007 and he signed for Billy Davies' side for a fee of £1million.

He struggled to impress in the Premier League though and was loaned back to Hull in 2008 where he played a big part in getting them promoted, earning himself a permanent move as reward.

In the 2008/09 season, he suffered a broken tibia in a September match against Newcastle United after a disgraceful tackle from Danny Guthrie. He returned in 2009 and played in most of the Tigers' remaining games.
