United poised to strengthen backline

Hereford United are set to bolster their defence with a loan signing thought to be orchestrated by coach Richard O'Kelly.

O'Kelly, who also works at West Bromwich Albion, has recommended defender Tamika Mkandawire to Graham Turner, and he is expected to sign for the Edgar Street club tomorrow.

Mkandawire, a centre back born in Malawi, is twenty years old and is a second-year professional at West Brom. He has yet to make a first-team appearance, but could make his debut in Saturday's trip to Woking.

Mkandawire will return to the Hawthorns after the game on Saturday 1st November against Leigh RMI at Edgar Street.

He was seen earlier this season by United supporters when the Baggies brought a youth team to Hereford for a friendly. Unfortunately, he was subbed after he handballed in the area following a Danny Williams shot at goal.
