King keen to play

Last updated : 28 April 2006 By Gary Calder

Watford manager, Aidy Boothroyd has confirmed that star striker, Marlon King is likely to be included in his side to face Peter Taylor's Hull City on Sunday.

With the Golden Boys' perceived strength being their attack there has been conjecture throughout the week as to whether Boothroyd would risk injury to the Championship's leading goal scorer in a game that can only determined whom Watford play in the Play-off Semi-Finals.

However, the player himself is eager to play as his manger confirmed,

“I don't think I'll be able to keep him in cotton wool for the play-offs. He's that keen to play, he's raring to go.

“He's been fantastic in training and I'm hoping his recent rest will have done him good because he's firing at the moment”

King has been in truly inspirational form throughout the entire season, helping a number of the younger players develop their own career's as well as netting 21 goals to date since his summer arrival from Nottingham Forest.
