Nigeria and Hull City striker Sone Aluko has admitted he may have to go in search of a new club if he wishes to play regular football.
Even with Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long unavailable for the FA Cup semi-final with Sheffield United, Aluko still had to settle for a place on bench.
The striker, who has been plagued by injury, did come on in the second half but still could not hide his frustration.
“It was very frustrating to not start on Sunday,” he lamented.
“I was disappointed I didn’t start. If you are not playing in the league and you are not playing in the Cup, then you start thinking ‘What game am I going to play in?’
“I can only show the manager if I am playing, it’s hard to show in the last 15 or 20 minutes of games. It’s not easy to come on and make an impact on a game if there is a flow to the game or a pattern to the game. I want to play in every game.
“If you are not playing in the league or in the Cup games then pretty much you are not playing at all and you start thinking ‘Is this for me? Do I need to find a new club?”
