United still after Kelly
Hereford United have offered an improved deal to ex-Tranmere Rovers and Wolves attacker David Kelly.
The Bulls also face competition from Telford United for his signature, whose boss Jake King told the Shropshire Star: "David has had an improved offer from Hereford and the ball is in his hands,
"He's a good professional, extremely fit with fantastic feet and his finishing is terrific."
A striker, though, that will not be joining Hereford is David McNiven. McNiven played a trial game for the Bulls last Friday night as they went down 2-0 against Tranmere, and ex-Bull Jimmy Quinn has captured his signature for Northwich Victoria.
The squad as it stands at the moment, has much promise after two games together, according to the Hereford United coaches Richard O'Kelly and Graham Turner. O'Kelly told BBC Hereford & Worcester that he's pleased with the progress the side has made during the pre-season campaign but feels there's more to come from the squad. Tuesday night's game against Swindon showed "genuine signs of improvement" from Friday's defeat to Tranmere.
However, the new three-man defensive system is still finding its feet, says boss Turner.
"The three central defenders (Ian Wright, Andrew Tretton and Tony Hames) are still coming to terms with the new system and, at times, a true level of understanding has not been there," he told today's Hereford Times. "But, to be fair, we have just played against two very good teams and they have been good workouts for us."
Paul Parry, withdrawn at half-time against Swindon following a knock, should be fit for the trip to Bromsgrove Rovers next Tuesday, kick off 7.45pm, while striker John Grant is suffering from a foot injury.
Goalkeeper Kenny Griffiths, signed on a one-year contract from Torquay United earlier this week, could also feature once again.
