Hull City's Eldin Jakupovic returns to Leyton Orient on loan

Jakupovic returns to Orient

Hull City goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic has returned to Leyton Orient on a short-term loan deal.

The 29-year-old initially joined the League One side in January but was recalled by his parent club after first-choice stopper Allan McGregor picked up a three-match suspension.

Jakupovic will now remain at Brisbane Road until April.

"We've watched and monitored the situation and I am good friends with [Hull boss] Steve Bruce as well so that has helped," Orient manager Russell Slade told BBC London 94.9.

"We have been able to keep a dialogue going with Hull City. We have had a problem with the goalkeeping situation which I don't think has helped our cause too much."

Jakupovic has won one cap for Switzerland.
