McCann: Wilks can be anything he wants to be

Grant McCann believes forward Mallik Wilks has the attributes to be anything he wants to be.

The 21-year-old is the Tigers’ leading scorer with seven goals in 13 appearances in all competitions.

The Leeds-born dangerman has netted 12 times in 32 Hull City matches in total since first arriving at the KCOM Stadium on loan from Barnsley in January.

Wilks enjoyed great success working under McCann previously at Doncaster, plundering 22 goals as Rovers reached the League One play-offs in 2018/19.

The boss feels Wilks has made great strides over the last two-and-a-half seasons and is confident he will only continue to improve.
