The Hereford Times has confirmed four signings this morning.

Joining the rumoured recruits - Tim Sills, Richard Rose, and John Wallis - is ex-Shrewsbury goalkeeper Glyn Thompson.

Sills, 26, is a former Aldershot player who Oxford paid an undisclosed sum for in January, scoring just once in 13 League Two matches. He was claimed by manager Jim Smith to be the highest earner at the club. His record in Conference football is undoubted, having averaged a goal every other game for the Shots.

Rose, 23, is a utility player who can play across the defence and midfield who was released by Gillingham after 64 games over six years, mostly in the Championship. He also had a spell on loan to Bristol Rovers in 2002.

Wallis, 20, was also released by Gillingham in the summer after a single first team season in which he played 20 times for the Gills. A midfielder by trade, he was a surprise release but struggled to get a first team chance once manager Neale Cooper left the club in November.

Thompson, 25, has had five different clubs and three spells at Shrewsbury. He was a Shrews trainee before Fulham gambled £50,000 on the untested youngster six years ago. A string of loan moves and free transfers took in the likes of Northampton and Mansfield before returning to Shrewsbury last summer, making just one appearance.
