London: Hull City manager Steve Bruce says French winger Hatem Ben Arfa has played his last game for the Premier League club after a troubled loan spell at the KC Stadium.
Ben Arfa has played just nine times for Hull since his temporary move from Newcastle United and reports in France last weekend indicated that he had returned to Paris and was training on his own.
And on Thursday Bruce admitted that the relationship between player and club had almost certainly run its course.
“If he decides to stay in France that’s up to him, there’s only 10 days until the [January transfer] window opens and I think it’s fair to say he’s probably played his last game for Hull,” Bruce said.
“He didn’t deserve to be in the team on merit.”
