Hull striker Long convinced of exciting Jelavic partnership

Hull City striker Shane Long feels there's much more to come from his partnership with Nikica Jelavic.

Long hopes the understanding can develop over time as both strikers look to repay the faith shown in them by manager Steve Bruce.

"The gaffer went out on a limb and spent a bit of money getting me and Jelavic in and hopefully I can reward him with goals on the pitch," said the Republic of Ireland international.

"I'm really enjoying it. Jelavic is a handful and puts himself up front which surprised me a bit before I came in.

"I think we compliment each other well, but we are still learning off each other and hopefully we can add to our goal tally before the end of the season and then have a full pre-season together."
