Striker signed from Glovers
Adam Stansfield has joined Hereford United on a free transfer from rivals Yeovil Town.
Stansfield scored a total of 16 goals for the Glovers in their 2001-02 Conference campaign but suffered a broken leg and didn't feature in the following league season. In the past season the 25 year old netted six times, all in the league and only started 7 games, although he did appear many times as a substitute. Stansfield, the second notable new signing of the summer, will join David Brown and Danny Carey-Bertram as the first team strikers under contract for next season.
Stansfield's profile on the official Yeovil Site says:
Stansfield, who will be 26 in September, signed for Yeovil in November 2001 from Western League side Elmore. He spent four years at the Tiverton based club and was top scorer for much of his time there. He spent time on loan at Exeter were he played in their mid-week reserve games before returning to Horsden Park at the weekends. Has already become a top scorer the season before last and a firm fan favourite. Broke his leg at the beginning of last season but has now returned to full match fitness.
His bad injury came during Yeovil Town's opening fixture of the 2002-03 Conference season at The Avenue, Dorchester. The game was completely overshadowed by the injury to Stansfield that occurred fifteen minutes into the match, and saw the Yeovil Town striker stretchered from the field and rushed straight to hospital. It was later confirmed that both the fibula and tibia were broken in stanfield's right leg.
