KARIM Rossi believes there's still plenty of room for improvement in his displays for Hull City's development squad, despite being on the losing side only once so far this season. The Swiss-Moroccan striker headed his side's winner in the latter stages at Hillsborough in the 1-0 Premier League Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday earlier this week. Joining the Tigers in the off-season following three years at Premier League rivals Stoke City, Rossi promises there's more to come following his second goal of the 2014-15 campaign. "I had a great three years at Stoke but maybe it was time for a bit of fresh scenery. I'm very grateful that the club took me on and gave me the opportunity and now it's time for me to do my best," he told the Mail. "It's like a big family here. Tony (Pennock, reserves manager) and the lads are great and I've settled in really well. "Since I've joined I've been very happy with my own form. It's been good so far. "The club has been great with me and training has been fantastic up at Bishop Burton. I've got to keep going and push on and score my goals. That's what I have to keep doing. "I've been working on my finishing because in the past few games I've had a few chances which I could've done better with, and it's paid off by scoring the goal at Sheffield." Rossi praised the work of his team-mates, including £2.5m defender Harry Maguire – who provided the teasing assist from the flanks for the winner on Monday night. "It's a very good goal for me. Harry's done the hard work with a ball like that and all I can do is put the ball in the back of the net," he added. "It was a great experience for the lads to play at a ground like Hillsborough. Everybody worked hard and to come away with the win was pleasing. "We're now looking forward to finding out who we will play in the next round." Rossi will hope to further his goal-scoring exploits when the Tigers return to Final Third Development League East Division action at North Ferriby United on Tuesday night, with Doncaster Rovers the visitors. Kick-off is 7pm.
