Hull City boss Phil Brown is hoping to now see the best of Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

Brown is confident the former Celtic striker will benefit from playing alongside Jozy Alitdore.

He said: "Jan's unproven at Premier League level. It's always another step up coming to the Premier League in England I think and Jan's stepped up to that plate quite admirably.

"Now he's got a young man bustling and hustling alongside him, the both of them are causing centre-halves problems; therein lies the success."
