Hull City last night triumphed 3-1 over Southend United at the KC Stadium, sealing their place in the third round of the League Cup, with 19-year-old American striker Jozy Altidore marking his first start for the Tigers with his first goal for the club.

The forward is on a season-long loan from Spanish outfit Villarreal, and his manager Phil Brown is looking forward to him finding the net on more occasions for City over the course of the coming campaign.
“The biggest bonus was probably getting 90 minutes out of Jozy but there were plenty of positives,” Brown told The Hull Daily Mail.

“Jozy got himself a winning goal and he’s probably still suffering from jet-lag if truth be known. It was a good competitive game for him because Southend were no slouches.”He seems to be unfazed by anything but that’s perhaps down to the assets of a 19-year-old. He can handle himself and he found himself up against an experienced team.”

Despite that positive assessment, Brown still felt that there was much work for the United States international to do if he was to make his season in England a success.

“It’ll be a long season for him and it’ll be a long way to go to get him up to Premier League fitness levels and get him up to speed with the Premier League,” Brown explained.

“Southend was a big stepping stone for him but there’s some way to go yet.”
