UK Athletics' Neil Black calms expectations surrounding Jessica Ennis-Hill

UK Athletics performance director Neil Black calms expectation over Jessica Ennis-Hill by insisting that 2015 will be a year of 'exploration'.

UK Athletics performance director Neil Black believes that 2015 will be a year for Jessica Ennis-Hill to "explore" as opposed to returning to winning ways.

The 28-year-old, who gave birth to her son Reggie last summer, will compete in her first heptathlon since London 2012 at the Gotzis Hypo Meeting in May.

"She is making good progress, she is doing all events," The Independent quotes Black as saying. "The team working around her is working really well.

"I think she is confident so it is about progress and using this year to relearn, explore, get back to a good competent level, to check her responses and we will see how it evolves."

Ennis-Hill faces competition from fellow Brit Katarina Johnson-Thompson at the event in four months' time.
