Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean confesses that he has held talks with Jimmy Bullard.

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has confirmed that he has held talks with midfielder Jimmy Bullard.

The 32-year-old has been a free agent for a short period of time since his contract with Hull City was cancelled.

Ipswich Town boss Paul Jewell recently revealed his interest in signing Bullard, while Queens Park Rangers and Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen on the player.

When asked about the possibility of Bullard linking up with his squad, Kean refused to rule the notion out.

"I've probably been linked with Jimmy because I met him on Sunday when he was out with his boy, and I had a chat with him and he was telling me about his troubles, and he could be available,” he told a press conference.

"But I don't know how his fitness is, whether he has done a full pre-season. But he is a quality player when he is on his game.

"It depends if we need somebody in that position and if we have done our business and filled those slots, then it might not happen, but if we haven't, then you never know."

Bullard cost Hull a club record £5m in 2009.
