Ross Staley Joins Hereford FC


Ross Staley has joined Hereford FC from Shortwood United. Peter Beadle has signed the winger as a replacement for Adam Page who is unlikely to feature again this season.

20 year old Staley started the season with Gloucester City.

"It's a big blow for us to lose Ross as he's a player with a lot of quality," said Shortwood manager Alec Sykes as reported by Stroud Life.

 "Pete Beadle put in seven days' notice for him before Christmas and initially wanted us to waive it.

"We said no, because we didn't want to lose him for the games over Christmas, but when they were called off we allowed him to talk to them early.

"He's got a fantastic offer from them and he has the chance to go and play in front of a crowd of 2,000 every week, so you can't knock him for wanting to go.

"We're disappointed to see him go as he has a lot of quality and scored some important goals for us, but he goes with our best wishes."
