Seen as though he was only signed on a 1 year deal, I am slightly concerned about this lads development at Hull. Being the 19th man in the squad week in week out cannot help him at all. Has anybody seen him in the reserves at all? If so how did he look to you?

Not near the first team from what ive seen and also heard from friends who have seen him more than me.

Still we signed him to see how he developed, if he develops enough this year he may get a longer deal. Playing first team isnt the only output of his development.

While all our forwards are staying heathly and King coming back its not going to be easy for him to break in yet

Was not impressed with him in the game at dewsbury but can't comment on his development as Ive not seen enough of him.

think he will only break in if we get injuries and lets hope we keep a good clean bill of health for a while yet.

seems our conditioner has been one of our best signings

Try not to be so concerned. As others have stated the first team is not the only place for players to develop and the only place he can earn a extended contract. Have faith with a youth development system that has already developed good young players.
