Last updated : 04 February 2008 By Stray Shots Team

Young Hull City forward Nicky Featherstone has been attracting the interest of Blue Square Premier League play-off hopefuls Burton Albion.

The former Liverpool and Nottingham Forest striker has made it public that he believes the Tigers youngster can add much to the Brewers Football League ambitions and plans to make a move for City's number 27 when the loan window re-opens.

Nigel Clough confirmed his interest in the 19 year old Featherstone stating, "He can play midfield, wide and up front so we are going to do everything we can to get him in."

The youngster signed professional terms with his current employers in the summer of 2006 and has featured 11 times for the Tigers, although 9 of those appearances have been from the bench.
