Westfields boss Sean Edwards has told the Hereford Times that he thinks that former Bulls midfielder Craig Jones is capable of getting a second chance at Edgar Street.
Still only 21, the former youth teamer was released by Graham Turner in the summer of 2010 - a move the veteran manager warned at the time 'could come back to haunt me'.
Edwards believes that is true, telling the HT: “Craig is far better than this level, he should still be playing across the road at Edgar Street.
“He is the most committed player we have ever had at this club. Craig is always the first to arrive and the last to leave. He has been outstanding over the last two seasons.”
“After (the first goal on Saturday) it was the Craig Jones show. Craig scored with a great strike, hit the post and just cleared the bar with one.
“And as for the two goals he scored in the second-half, if they had had two goalkeepers they would not have kept them out.”
Jones, who joined Westfields from the Bulls, played just five games in two years as a pro. On his release from Edgar Street, we assessed him:
Craig Jones is another that really needs games to progress, something he is not going to get with no reserve side at Edgar Street. Came on in leaps and bounds in loan spells at Bromsgrove and Redditch but injury seemed to halt his progress as he got a foot in the door. Made just three starts, one against Portsmouth, and two sub appearances in the past two seasons.
