Sterling-James transfer latest as Caddis addresses 'falling out and shouting match' rumours

Omari Sterling-James looks set to leave Edgar Street

Omari Sterling-James was absent for a second game in a row after Hereford were beaten 4-2 by Chorley.

The 32-year-old Birmingham-born winger has impressed since arriving at Edgar Street in March, particularly with his set pieces.

But he looks set to leave Edgar Street, wanting a move to a side that isn't full-time nor higher up the pyramid.

Giving an update after the Chorley defeat, Caddis said "it's probably now a matter for the board to go and try and sort out of a fee or whatever it is that's involved".

While an offer has been made, Caddis said it was one "the club didn't think was acceptable", but he added: "Marz is looking at going elsewhere. We'll shake his hand, try and find a solution and move on."

Caddis was asked what the attraction was for Sterling-James to move on from Edgar Street, given that the club interested is said to be part-time and not higher up the pyramid.

There had also been rumours online of a falling out between the pair, which Caddis rejected.

"I'm guessing it's financial," he said.

"I don't mind getting slaughtered for it because we just lost again of football but you need to understand these lads are part-time, they want to get as much money as they possibly can.

"I'm not saying Marz is driven by money because he absolutely isn't. We've still got loads of respect for each other. There hasn't been a falling out, there hasn't been a shouting match. 

"We had a private meeting that I won't get into detail, [but] he's had an opportunity that he sees as a lot more attractive than us.

"We've got to respect that and now it's about finding a solution."

Sterling-James, whose previous clubs include Cheltenham Town, Kidderminster Harriers and Ebbsfleet United, has made 22 appearances for Hereford this season and scored five goals.
