Jimmy Bullard: Dartford boss Tony Burman's approach fails

Dartford have failed in a bid to lure former Wigan and Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard out of retirement.

The 34-year-old quit the game in October because of knee problems while contracted to MK Dons.

"In all honesty it won't happen as he has got other interests and offers outside football that he is looking at.

"If an opportunity comes along to have someone like Jimmy around we would obviously listen and talk," Darts boss Tony Burman told BBC Radio Kent.

"We have spoken but he has got interests which he wants to take up."
