However, it’s been Gelhardt’s best and most consistent season to date. He’s finally been entrusted with a role that suits his skill-set, and at Hull City, he’s got a club that clearly wants to sign him long-term.His 11th goal of the season came at the weekend at home to QPR in a 3-1 defeat. Despite that loss, the Tigers are still in a driving seat for a playoff place, coming into this evening’s clash with Derby County sitting fifth.The long-term question remains of where Gelhardt will play his football beyond this season.
