'I like the city, it is good to be here' -Akintola

David Akintola said he has "settled in very well" to life with Hull City as the Championship club prepare for Saturday's fixture away to Bristol City.

The forward played for Adana Demirspor and Caykur Rizespor in Turkey before making the switch to the Tigers this season.

"I have settled in very well. The guys in the team and the staff they have made me settle in well, and I like the city, it is good to be here," he told BBC Radio Humberside.

"I have trained with the team and I am in a good shape. I feel good and I am ready to play.

"When I was at home and on holiday I was making sure I was training all the time. When I got here it wasn't that much of a difference, but there is a difference between training on holiday and training with a team."

It is the first time the 29-year-old has played in England having started his career in Denmark at Midtjylland.

But it is not the first time he has heard of Hull having followed the club's top-flight campaigns of the past.

"Growing up in Nigeria we all knew Hull City from back when they were playing in the Premier League," he said.

"So, to be able to get a call from them, it is a no brainer, and when I got the call, I couldn't say no - it was an easy decision to be here."

Bristol City are yet to lose in the league this season, but did go out of the Carabao Cup in the second round against Fulham.

"If Bristol City haven't lost this season, they will have to lose to us first as we are mentally ready, physically ready, and focused.

"We are going there with the mindset of getting three points, and I hope we will get the three points."
