Renegade Cork City midfielder George O�Callaghan is set to join Coca-Cola Championship side Hull City on trial after his brief stay at Ipswich Town comes to an end this week.

O�Callaghan was the eircom League�s Player of the Year in 2005 as Cork ended a 12-year wait for a league title.

However, he has been exiled at Turners Cross for the past three months after a blazing row with manager Damien Richardson.

The 27-year-old, who enjoyed a spell at Port Vale before joining Cork in 2002, is currently on trial at Portman Road, but the Tractor Boys� Championship rivals Hull are also interested in having a look at the talented playmaker

Hull's manager is Phil Parkinson who took Colchester into the championship with a budget lower than some EL teams and crowds of 2-3,000 in a stadium worse than United Park. Also, reputedly, a man who takes no sh!t from players.

You must really like United Park if you think it's better then Hull's class stadium.
Also they get far more then 2-3,000 for home league matches. There was 17,000 there for the last home league game.
