Gary Walsh leaves Hull to become Aston Villa goalkeeping coach

Hull goalkeeping coach Gary Walsh has left the club to link up once more with Steve Bruce at Aston Villa.

Walsh, 48, is the latest member of Hull's backroom team to leave the club in favour of a switch to Villa following Stephen Clemence's decision to join up with former Tigers boss Bruce in mid-October.

"The club would like to place on record its thanks to goalkeeping coach Gary Walsh, who has opted to leave the KCOM Stadium to take up a role with Aston Villa," a statement on Hull's official website read.

"Having joined the Tigers during the 2011/12 season, Walsh was part of the coaching staff during the most successful period in the club's history, assisting in two promotions to the Premier League as well as the 2014 run to our first-ever FA Cup final appearance.
