Turner looks at new system
Graham Turner hopes to employ a three-man central defensive system for Hereford United's upcoming friendly matches at Edgar Street against Tranmere Rovers (Friday, 7.45pm) and Swindon Town (Tuesday, 7.45pm).

Ian Wright, Tony James and newcomer Andy Tretton will form the basis of the defence, with the two wing-backs being able to proceed forward.

He told the Hereford Times: "The arrival of Andy Tretton gives us an opportunity to play with three central defenders, allowing our full-backs to move forward.

"Although it's very early in our pre-season programme, the matches will allow us to assess problems which might arise from using a new system."

Goalkeeper Matt Baker will play after a trial at Leyton Orient, and former Aberystwyth Town winger Rhodri Giggs, the brother of Manchester United and Wales star Ryan Giggs, is also expected to line up for the Bulls as a trialist against Second Division Tranmere. Former Ipswich Town trainee Ashley Nicholls and ex-Chesterfield midfielder Daniel Williams could also feature for Hereford.
