Jelavic Thanks Everton Supporters

Nikica Jelavic’s message to Everton Fans.

Nikica Jelavic completed a £7.5m switch to Hull City yesterday and was full of praise for the support that he received from Everton fans during his time at the club. The Croatian international wrote an open letter to the fans, which was given to the Liverpool Echo.

Best of luck lad.
