Greaves 'immensely proud' after making his debut'

Jacob Greaves spoke of his immense pride after making his Hull City debut in the EFL Trophy defeat to Leicester City U21s.

The 19-year-old was one of seven debutants for the Tigers in their opening match of Northern Group H, which the Foxes won courtesy of a dubious last-minute penalty.

The Cottingham-born centre-back was disappointed by the result but delighted to make his first senior appearance in black and amber.

“To pull the shirt on for the first time in a competitive match, I was immensely proud,” said Greaves, who has been with the Club since the age of eight.
