ROB Scott has moved to distance himself from reports linking Grimsby Town with an imminent approach for former Mariner Jamie Devitt.
Reports from across the Humber yesterday credited Town with an interest in the 22-year-old, pictured – who played 15 games while on loan at Blundell Park during the 2009/10 season.
But speaking to the Telegraph, Scott shrugged off the suggestion as speculation.
He said: "There's no truth in the Jamie Devitt rumours.
"People are going to tweet what they want to tweet.
"I was asked the question if we were interested in Jamie and I said that he's a player that we've looked at before and one that fits the bill. But as we stand today, there's nothing to report on that.
"We wouldn't allude to any deal for any player until such time as it's done, but that's not the case in this one.
"He's a player that we've looked at and because he's at Hull and been here before, people are putting two and two together.
"We're looking at a number of positions and a number of players.
"If we were to sign everyone that we're linked with, the squad would be huge."
