Hull appoint Neil McDonald as assistant manager to Mike Phelan

Hull have appointed Neil McDonald as the club's new assistant manager.

Tigers boss Mike Phelan had been looking to fill the role since former assistant Stephen Clemence's recent departure to team back up with Steve Bruce at Aston Villa.

McDonald, 50, has previously worked under Sam Allardyce at Bolton, Blackburn and West Ham and is a former boss at Carlisle and Blackpool.
