Cranston released? Left-back thanks Hereford

Jordan Cranston has wished Hereford the best for the future

It looks like defender Jordan Cranston has been released by Hereford.

The latest official word from the club came almost two weeks ago when an update from Caddis said no discussion had yet taken place as he was on loan at Redditch United.

The 31-year-old left-back failed to make an impact at Edgar Street, despite joining the club from National League North champions AFC Fylde.

On Saturday, he posted on X, formerly Twitter: "Thank you Hereford FC. All the best going forward."

Cranston had also had spells at Morecambe, Gateshead, Cheltenham Town and Solihull Moors but after signing for Hereford last summer, had made 17 appearances before joining Southern League Premier Division Central club Redditch United on loan.

The deal was initially for a month but was extended until the end of the season.

He helped Redditch secure a play-off place but they could not gain promotion, being beaten by eventual play-off winners Leamington.

He made 17 appearances for the club during his time there. He is also Chasetown FC's lead coach for the under-16s side and has a UEFA B coach licence.

There is still no news on fellow defender Mark Derricott. He joined step three Bromsgrove Sporting on loan after suffering an injury at Hereford.

Like Cranston, two weeks ago the club said discussions were yet to take place as he was on loan.

Derricott was the only player who was retained by Hereford at the end of the 2022/23 season.
