| Hereford manager Paul Caddis has said there will be changes to the squad |
Hereford are set to a lose 'quite a few players' as the transfer market heats up in January.
While step two clubs don't have a transfer window to worry about in the same way as National League and above do, there is always more movement as we enter the new year.
And Hereford, who were beaten 1-0 by Kidderminster Harriers on Boxing Day, will not be immune from disruption.
Paul Caddis previously said 'six or seven' players could be leaving, including Omari Sterling-James whose time at Edgar Street looks to be up as the board negotiates a fee for the 32-year-old winger.
Loan spells are due to be up for a I-Lani Edwards, Jaiden White and Callum McFarlane, though Mitch Roberts at Gloucester and Preston Bitemo at Kettering are also coming to the end of their deals with those clubs.
As Friday's post-match interview turned to the 'six or seven' players he said would be leaving Edgar Street over the coming weeks, Caddis said: "I won't give you names. Absolutely not.
"January is coming around the corner. So there'll be movement there in terms of players going back."
He said there are club-imposed rule of how many players can be on a contract versus non-contract - something out of his hands and that he respects, but "it's not something I enjoy".
He said that, at the start of the season, 20 or 25 per cent of players need to be non-contact - effectively one in four or five players.
"You're always fighting that as well," he added. "So someone comes in and puts a seven-day approach in, then you lose your player.
"There will be a couple in terms of that. So we will lose quite a few which isn't ideal but we've got to try and deal with."
When asked about any discussions with chairman Chris Ammonds, who has been away visiting family and watching cricket in Australia over recent weeks, Caddis said: "I've not heard from Chris much, heard from him a little bit. He's away enjoying some time with family.
"We've got a budget to work within and we can't go over it. And that's as far as it gets in terms of speaking to the chairman about players and stuff like that."
Defending his holiday, Stig posted on X: "Family first. Always. And this trip - and complete break - to visit our son/big brother, has been much needed. For clarity, as discussed and agreed internally, other individuals have taken on responsibility for my roles at the club while I am temporarily ‘off duty’."
Bulls fans will be hoping for new additions, particularly after Caddis recently said he had tried to sign two National League players but they had opted for full-time offers instead.
