After his recent £250,000 transfer to Hull City, Lawrie Dudfield has been speaking to the Leicester Mercury about his “mixed emotions” after he realised that he would no longer be playing for City.

Dudfield told the Mercury, “I’m happy to join Hull because it gives me another chance, but I’m disappointed to be leaving Leicester. So I’ve got mixed emotions.

“I have really enjoyed my time at Leicester, but you can only play reserve-team football for so long. I felt it was time to move on.”

Dudfield also admitted that he has no hard feelings with Peter Taylor nor Martin O'Neill for not letting him break through to the first team after he made just 2 appearances for them.

“I’ve got no hard feelings,” said Dudfield. “I understand that managers have different opinions about players.

“I never seemed to fit into the new boss’s plans and that was made pretty apparent from the start.

“I’m disappointed that things didn’t work out at Leicester, but these things happen and I’ve got some great memories.”

“The Leicester fans were always good to me and I will miss them.”
