Hanford has 'Great Potential' says Pitman

Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman has followed the lead set by director of football Gary Peters in trying to justify the recent new contract deals for various players.

Talking to BBC Hereford and Worcester, Pitman called the deals given to Michael Townsend, Sam Clucas and Dan Hanford 'investments in the future'.

He thought that Townsend has worked hard to improve his game in recent months and that Clucas and Hanford are players for the future.

"Having spoke to the goal-keeping coaches, Houlty and Dan, they feel that Dan (Hanford) has got great potential.

"And the same with Sam Clucas.

"We've drip-fed him in and he's not really ever let us down.

"He can play a number of positions, he's a young lad, he's going to progress."
