CAIRO: Hull City striker Amr Zaki is content with his full debut, which saw his side brushed aside 3-0 at West Ham.

The Egyptian, who scored 10 goals for Wigan last term, hardly had a shot on target at Boleyn Ground, even so he has an explanation for his quiet evening.

I am totally satisfied with my part in the game because it is my first start since November, which is nearly 3 months, Zaki told Modern Sport TV.

The first start in the Premier League is never easy and I ve worked so hard in training to make the starting line-up.

Hull s defeat to their relegation rivals left them in 17th place, only one point off the danger zone.

England recall

Zaki, who was ruled out of last month s African Nations Cup, expressed his delight after being recalled to the Egypt squad for the friendly in England.

Being named for a match against England helps my reputation here of course. I am very happy, said the 26-year-old.

I want to thank coach Hassan Shehata for keeping his faith in me.
