Roberts On A Contract At Hereford




James Roberts is on a contact at Hereford until the end of the season, giving himself and the club some security.

He spoke to the press following today's 1-1 draw against Altrincham.

He was asked about his move to Hereford. Did he decide straight away to leave Halesowen?

"When I was younger I used to watch Football League all the time, Hereford were up there in the League.

"It's always been a massive club.

"When I was a scholar at Oxford we used to play Hereford all the time. We used to see the set-up they had.

"A lot of people know about Hereford, the fan base is unbelievable.

"The noise they produce in this League is on a different level.

"When they came in it was very difficult for me to think anything but absolutely."

How were you approached?

"I was approached by a phone call.

"They put a seven day notice in for me, they came and watched me when I scored a couple of goals.

"Then I received the phone call to come in and play in the match against Cinderford, the training match.

"And all things led from there.

"I'm signed on a contract so I'm here for the rest of the season.

"It gives me that security and gives Hereford that security as well.

"I'm here to do my upmost for this club."
