Hull City loan ace faces big decision on his next steps

GELHARDT UNSURE WHAT FUTURE HOLDS

- By BARRY COOPER

HULL City’s loan ace Joe Gelhardt admits he faces a big decision this summer over what happens next in his career, hinting that it won't be at Leeds United.

The forward left Elland Road in January in search of regular football, something he wasn’t getting under Daniel Farke, and their promotion to the Premier League will make it almost impossible to feature next term, leaving the 22-year-old at a crossroads.

City want Gelhardt back next season, but there will likely be a clamour for his signature, whether it be on loan or permanent, and the fee the Whites would want is understood to be significant, with them having the protection of another year on his West Yorkshire contract.
