Hereford manager Paul Caddis has added 20 year old midfielder Matt Richards to his squad.
Richards joined West Bromwich when just eleven years old. Since then he has been part of the club's youth system.
More recently he helped the U21s win the Premier League Cup in 2022 as well as earning the 21/22 Academy Player of the Year Award.
Richards has been out on loan at Stourbridge, Alvechurch and Leamington. He was released by West Brom last May.
"Matt will add competition in central midfield but will bring some calmness to our play with his passing and receiving ability in possession," said Caddis.
"After a successful trial period with us we were fortunate Matt chose to stay with us and continue his development at our club.
"I am looking forward to continuing to work with Matt and seeing him play in front of our supporters."
Later Richards tweeted: 'Delighted to join, can’t wait to get started.'
