 Hull's Darryl Duffy says he is eager for first-team action with Swansea |
Darryl Duffy says he was encouraged to join Swansea City on loan by Hull City team-mate Sam Ricketts, who left the Swans in a �300,000 deal last July. "I got most of my information from Sam who told me a lot about the football club and about the city," Duffy said.
"I think the Swansea manager (Roberto Martinez) also 'phoned Sam to try and get a bit of information on me!
"Sam's been fantastic, but I've been brought here to play my own game - get in behind teams and stretch them."
Glasgow-born Duffy, 22, started his career in Rangers' youth team before joining Falkirk and then Hull in July 2006.
However, he has struggled to hold down a regualr first-team spot with Hull and has already spent a loan spell at Hartlepool earlier this season, where Duffy hit five goals in 10 matches.
"My main attribute is goal-scoring, I may not be involved in the game for 60-70 minutes but then pop up with a goal," said Duffy, a Scotland Under-21 cap.
"It was so frustrating getting a regular taste of first-team football with Hartlepool, going back to Hull feeling sharp but not getting my chance again.
"So when the opportunity came about to go out and get a run of games again I jumped at the chance."
