Being Local Made It Appealing Said Sterling-James

 

Omari Sterling-James who has joined Hednesford from Hereford has admitted that being a local club made the move appealing.

 “I know a few of the lads here and I’ve played with Lee (assistant manager Lee Vaughan) before, so that connection definitely helped. Being local made it even more appealing," said Sterling-James.

“I’ve played across the leagues and more recently at National League North, and now I just want to come in, work hard and help the team get promoted. That’s the aim. 

"I’m excited to get started and be part of what’s building here.”

Andrew Reed, Director of Football, said: “When I got the call saying Omari was available and looking to get out at Hereford we wanted to jump on it. 

"Obviously losing Jermaine (Hylton) left us short in that type of wide man and with Omari’s numbers this season being in the top five for assists and expected assists in the league above it was a great option. 

"I was surprised to hear he wanted to move on as Hereford is a big club with a great fan base but when we get an opportunity to get a player like Omari we need to act." 

Later S-J tweeted about Hereford.

To all the supporters and everyone involved in the club, I’d like to thank for you welcoming me warm heartedly and showing continued support throughout my time here. iv enjoyed it overall all hearing and seeing the passion you all bring to Edgar street is unbelievable
