Boro’s Bloor joins Hull United

The former Frickley skipper has yet to figure for Boro due to a troublesome injury, but joint-boss Paul Foot has underlined that he will make his bow for the club in the next few weeks.

He said: “Matty has gone to Hull United purely to get some games under his belt.

“They have a game on Saturday and then one on Tuesday, he’ll be featuring in both for them.

“He has been training with us this week and he has come through with no problems at all.

“We hope to have Matty back and at 100% over the next week or so.”
