Cardiff City's defender Anthony Gerrard, unwanted by Cardiff City boss Dave Jones and loan out to Hull City looks to have played himself into a Republic of Ireland international call-up. He represented Ireland at under-18 level and recently declared he saw his international future with Ireland. The Irish manager Giovanni Trapattoni, watched the defender and is believed to be about to call him into the squad for the Carling Nations Cup games against Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Gerrard has been named as the club's Player of the Season by the Hull fans. Gerrard has enjoyed a brilliant campaign for the Tigers since joining on a season-long loan from Cardiff. The Hull manager Nigel Pearson has already stressed he would like to see the 25-year-old remain at the KC Stadium next season where it is believed he has a season left on his contract.
What will City boss Dave Jones want to do keep him or sell? Will his form at Hull mean Jones could would to keep the defender, he never said he will never play for Cardiff again. His first season here was ever present at centre-back, but in pre-season something had changed and at the start of the season found himself on the bench. He got to starts in the League Cup and then loan out to Hull. His first game for Hull saw him back at the Cardiff City Stadium after both clubs agree to allow their players to play. Cardiff City had taken Hull midfielder Seyi Olofinjana on loan for the season.
