Matlock Town sign Rotherham United youngster on loan
Gladiators boss Paul Phillips says the 6’4” Hull plays in the centre and offers more adaptability to his side.
“I know we have Yatesy (Ryan Yates) who plays in the centre but to be honest, he’s done so well at right back, so it gives us more cover should anything happen to Sam (Egerton) and Ryan (Qualter),” he said.

Hull was offered a professional contract by the Millers last month after impressing during his two year scholarship at Rotherham.
Phillips is hopeful he can add a midfielder and a striker to his squad before Saturday’s opening league clash at Bamber Bridge.
