Hull City youngster Tom Cairney insists he had no intention of leaving the KC Stadium.

Speculation never swayed Tigers midfielder

Hull City youngster Tom Cairney insists he had no intention of leaving the KC Stadium. The highly-rated midfielder signed a new three-year deal with the Tigers last week after rumours linking him with a number of top Premier League sides. The 19-year-old broke into the first team earlier this season, earning praise for a number of eye-catching performances in the centre of the field. The teenager, though, insists he is happy at the East Yorkshire club and admits he still has a lot to learn about the game. "I'm just so happy to sign a new deal here at Hull City and I hope to stay here for a very long time," Cairney told the club's official website. "There was never a doubt that I was going to stay here. There were reports and rumours in the media about things, but I was always going to stay. "Everything is sorted now and I can just carry on with my football. I know I can't afford to settle with what has happened this year. I need to produce more performances to help the team."
