Phil Brown expressed his shock and disappointment after learning of Henrik Pedersen’s decision to leave Hull as of immediate effect.
Former Bolton assistant Brown brought Pedersen to Hull from The Reebok Stadium last summer and was keen to keep him for The Tigers’ Premier League bow.
However, Pedersen has been forced to return to Denmark for personal reasons, insisting he will now only turn out for his hometown club..
"It's a disappointing one, it's a shock to everybody,” said Brown. “It's a decision I respect as it's for family reasons. He has commitments back in Denmark.
"There was a year's contract on the table and Henrik's asked permission to come out of that.
"He wants to continue playing football but he's promised he will only play for his hometown team back in Denmark, Silkeborg. We wish him all the best, of course we do."
