Mills could sign by weekend
Graham Turner has said that new signing Lee Mills may sign a more permanent deal by the start of the Conference season this weekend. The former premiership striker was announced as a new signing at the Fans Forum last Monday evening. It is the second time that Turner has signed Mills. Turner spent £15,000 on the striker when manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Mills was then playing for Non League outfit Stocksbridge Steels.
Speaking to the Hereford Times Turner said, "Lee Mills just wants to play football, it's now just a question of whether we take him for a month to have a good look at him or sign him on a year's deal now."
However, the Hereford manager, who goes into his tenth season in charge at Edgar Street this weekend, went on to say that a player will a history like Mills' should have proven himself enough to sign on a more permanent contract. "With someone who has such a good pedigree you're not really taking much of a chance and there's a possibility we shall have a deal tied up for the season before the weekend."
Meanwhile, Turner has spoken of his confidence that he is taking into the first couple of games of the new campaign. "We have a decent squad of players who are looking fit and sharp, there's no reason for anything but optimism."
