Turner looking for several players

Graham Turner has said that he is still looking for several players to bloster his squad after signing Adam Stansfield earlier this week.

"The search is on to further strengthen the squad," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I want another mid-field player despite signing Craig Stanley, and I'm still not certain what Matt Baker is doing.

"He came back from America.I'm understood he was going to make a decision on his future. I think he is on holiday now, so the search is on for a goal-keeper should he be leaving us.

"We have got to make provision now for an alternative although I had been prepared to leave certain positions into pre-season and had a look at one or two players during that period. I would like to get the squad as near settled as we can before we begin pre-season and then keep the options open. If there are one or two young lads that are going to start pre-season with us, we will be able to have a good look at them and keep an option open if they are good enough and we've got room to take them."

Going back to goalkeepers Turner continued:"I would like to get that position nailed down. Ben Scott last season was fairly consistent in his performances in the reserves. I'm sure he thinks he is good enough to take Matt Baker's place, but I think we will also take somebody with a little more experience and that's what we are working on at the minute. We definitely need to get that one settled."

Turner said that he had not made any more signings as yet.

"We are talking to a number of players," said the Hereford United manager.
