Williams leaving Edgar Street
Hereford United's highly-rated attacker Gavin Williams is set to exit Edgar Street in the summer.

The Hereford Times report that Williams has failed to agree a new contract with the Bulls and after five years with Hereford, he will leave the club on May 4th. The twenty-one year old is expected to attract much attention from Football league sides.

United chairman Graham Turner, the director of football, said: "Gavin was offered a contract at the same time as Matt Baker, Tony James and Paul Parry, but he has not accepted. It's in abeyance at the moment but, as it stands, Gavin will be free to have discussions with other clubs after May 4.

"I can see where Gavin is coming from because he's been here for five years and perhaps feels that he needs a change. But I think it's fair to say that in his time with this club he has given his best efforts."

Williams has scored fourteen goals this season in all competitions, and has been a regular in the side side Hereford joined the Conference in 1997.
