The conviction is relevant, and will be a factor in any visa change. My view (albeit not in possession of the full facts) is that he had a visa for the UK, went home for a court case and was convicted. When he returned, the conviction would/should have been mentioned to the immigration officer at the airport as a significant change of circumstances potentially affecting the visa. He was then clearly admitted to the UK, so it would be perverse for UKBA to refuse now on that basis. Of course if the conviction wasn't mentioned when he came back....

I know someone who can help with appointments

We were strongly linked with the ex Wakey lad Bronco's signed but was over their quota so couldn't play him. After they reached a deal there was interest from us in taking him for the rest of the season (sorry cant just recall his name).

Anyway after going public that we were looking to sign him and had agreed terms (he was supposedly staying with Phelps as they were best mates or something), it was then announced he was going back to Oz because of the time it would take for his visa to come through.

Now it could of course have been a smoke screen and he just wanted to get back to Oz with his severance deal, if there were no guarantees after this season.

So it makes sense for Hull to be cautious until everything is sorted.
