King eager to win Conference crown

Graham Turner's first summer signing for Hereford United was ex-Telford United midfielder Jordan King, who was released by the club when his father, Jake, departed as manager.

It took Turner little time to snap up the youngster, who had a trial with Everton last season as he appeared destined to step into the big-time.

However, King is happy to be at Hereford and is up-beat about the Bulls' chances this season.

He told HU-FC.co.uk: "There are good facilities, a good bunch of lads and so hopefully we can have a good season."

"I think we can make the play-offs. If we can stay clear of injuries, we can have a good season."

Within a week, King was joined at the club by fellow Telford player David Brown, who scored fifteen goals for the New Bucks Head-based side last term.

Both appear to have settled in well at Edgar Street as Hereford United hope to regain the Football League status that was lost in 1997.

Brown is unlikely to feature in today's friendly match with Kidderminster Harriers at Edgar Street, kick off 3pm.

Andy Tretton and Danny Bertram should return after missing the 1-0 defeat to Birmingham City on Thursday, while Kidderminster could start ex-United attacker John Williams, who is on-trial at Aggborough. Ian Britton's men have added Kenny Coleman, Adam Willis, Nick Heath and Graham Ward to their squad, but Matt Gadsby will miss out with a knee injury.
