Acun Ilicali and Tan Kesler deserve praise from Hull City manager Liam Rosenior for holding onto Manchester City loanee forward Liam Delap back in January.
Despite the forward’s injury that may have terminated his season on New Year’s Day away at Sheffield Wednesday, Hull City chose to keep him on the team until the summer.
The 21-year-old Delap is back with the Tigers and hopes to assist them make a late run at the top six after returning to the Etihad Stadium for treatment.
Rosenior has said, as per a report by HullLive: “I have to give credit to Acun and Tan for making that decision. We felt it was the right thing to do, not just because it was Liam Delap, but he was fully engrossed and embedded in being a Hull City player. He cares so much and he still does now; he sees himself as a Hull City player.
“He doesn’t see himself as a loan player, he wants to be successful here and it’s very important that you show loyalty at the right time to the people who earn it.”
