It is looking more likely he will be playing (or on the treatment table) or Melbourne Victory.
The Australian club are hoping to attract Viduka back "home" in the summer after learning the striker will not be staying at Newcastle United.
It remains to be seen whether the 33-year-old will figure at Hull City, but regardless of how many times Viduka plays for Newcastle before the end of the season, sources close to the player claim he has already been asked to head back to Melbourne.
Since moving to Newcastle from Middlesbrough in June 2007 he has had an horrendous run of injuries; making just six first team appearances this season since returning from a six-month layoff in November.
