Pitman Confirms Heath Talks

Speaking to the Hereford Times, Bulls boss Jamie Pitman has confirmed that he is looking for a longer stay for full back Joe Heath.

Adding to the earlier news of talks with Oldham about Rob Purdie, he told the paper: “We are talking to Oldham about Rob Purdie at the moment and hope to tie that up within the next couple of weeks, and it is a similar situation with Joe Heath.”

Heath's current loan spell is expected to last up to the FA Cup match next weekend, the same as Purdie's stay.

The club are also in the market for a central defender with the press reporting interest in both Tony James and Exodus Geoghaghon.
