I made modifications from my last post down to one error but I am not seeing where i went wrong for my return value

Getting a java error 28 for my return statement what am I missing ??

public String getTileCount(char tileToFind) { int tileCount =0; for (char searchingTile: mHand.toCharArray()){ if (searchingTile==tileToFind) { tileCount++; } } return tileCount;
}

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  private String mHand;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    mHand = "";
  }

  public String getHand() {
   return mHand;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
    mHand += tile;
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
   return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
  }

  public String getTileCount(char tileToFind) { 
    int tileCount =0;
      for (char searchingTile: mHand.toCharArray()){
        if (searchingTile==tileToFind) {
          tileCount++; 
        }
      }
    return tileCount;  
  }

}
