Bullard Looking to Get Career Back on Track - Ipswich Town News
New loan signing Jimmy Bullard says he hopes he can get his career back on track after his injury-hit spell at Hull City. Knee injuries have severely hampered the 32-year-old’s time with the Tigers and the midfielder has made just 24 appearances since signing from Fulham for £5 million in January 2009.
Bullard told the club site that he had little hesitation when his former Wigan boss Paul Jewell called him: "The gaffer got on the phone to me and said I'd enjoy it down here and it's a great opportunity for me to come and play at a great club like Ipswich.
"It's a new beginning for me and I'm looking forward to getting some football under my belt. I could never really get going at Hull. The injuries stopped me getting a run going. I have not played in the last few games and the people there said it would be best for me to go and get some football.
"It suited all parties for me to come here. I just want to get back playing and enjoying my football again and hopefully I'll do that here."
