Peltier hoping for debut

Peltier, who played at right back during Liverpool's Carling Cup run this season, has joined Hull on loan for the rest of the season. The Academy graduate hopes to make his Hull debut this weekend when the Tigers face Southend in a relegation six-pointer.

"Everybody has been really helpful - the manager, the coaches, the rest of the players - and because of that I've found it quite easy to settle in," said the defender/midfielder.

"I've learned from some of the best players in the Premiership in the shape of Steve Finnan and Steven Gerrard.

"Hopefully I'll get the chance to be in the squad soon and show the fans what I can do."
