Sterling-James "wanted to get out of Hereford", but did money also play a part?

Omari Sterling-James "wanted to get out of Hereford" according to the club he has now joined.

The winger has left the Bulls to join Hednesford, a club who are in a league lower. 

Both clubs have this morning confirmed the move, with Sterling-James telling Hednesford's official website that he already knew some of the people at the Staffordshire club, and being local "made it even more appealing."

However, what is more telling is what Hednesford's director of football, Andrew Reed said.

According to Reed, Sterling-James "wanted to get out of Hereford", adding that he was surprised he wanted to move on as Hereford is a big club with a great fan base.

While neither Hednesford or Sterling-James will mention any financial appeal that may have played a part in the move, money talks. And Hereford manager Paul Caddis even said that the winger had an opportunity to "almost double his money".

While Hednesford are currently top of the Northern Premier League Premier Division and had a club record attendance of 4,784 in their last match, the fact remains they are still a Step 3 club, while Hereford - while struggling - are in the league above and can also attract such gates, as was proved on Boxing Day.

So, did it mainly boil down to money, or was Sterling-James just desperate to get out? We will probably never know.
