Jay Rodriguez is 100 per cent fit, according to his father who shot down fears from Hull City fans in style on Twitter.

Clubs interested in Jay Rodriguez have had any fears over the forward's fitness put to rest, by the Southampton man's father.

One-cap England international Rodriguez has made just 12 appearances across the past two seasons after suffering a serious knee injury in the 2013-14 campaign.

As talk of the move spread across Hull fans on Twitter, claims that Rodriguez was on the brink of retirement were raised, but soon shot down by a user - Enrique Rodriguez - who claimed the striker was "100% fit".

When David Fergus questioned the veracity of this information, demanding a source, Mr Rodriguez simply replied: "I'm his dad."

Well he should know, shouldn't he?
