Young striker tipped for big things
New Hereford United signing Daniel Carey-Bertram is glad to be at Edgar Street after impressing in a trial period.
It was surprising, though, that he didn't sign a professional deal at West Bromwich Albion.
The striker scored five goals at Ludlow Town in a pre-season friendly, and the next day confirmed a season-long contract with the Bulls.
"It was hard to find a club after I was let go by West Brom but I'm happy here," he explained. "There is a good atmosphere and I like all the fans, and I think I'll enjoy it."
Carey-Bertram, age nineteen, played for West Bromwich Albion reserves last season, as well as having a loan spell at Dr. Martens Premier Division side Stafford Rangers.
Some people at the Hawthorns were sad to see Carey-Bertram go. Simon, of the Grorty Dick fanzine, wrote: "I rated him at the Hawthorns and was surprised that he didn't get a pro. contract. Bar a chunk of the season out on loan to Stafford Rangers last season, he spent much of last season playing in the Premier League Reserve Division. It's a good standard, as good as it gets at reserve level and Danny was regularly up against internationals.
"He didn't score many but nor did anybody at the club at any level last term so that's not necessarily an issue. Danny is strong for his age and can hold the ball well. Richard O'Kelly spent much time coaching Danny during his formative years (and Dean Craven too though to a lesser extent) so knows his talents well."
