Trial for Douglin
Hereford United are reported to have offered a trial to Troy Douglin from Torquay. Douglin has just been released from Plainmoor after being told his contract would not be renewed at the end of the season. He has made six first team appearances for Torquay in 2002/2003.
Bulls boss Graham Turner will now give the 6 foot defender a chance to make an impact with the Conference club. Hereford already have Ken Griffiths on the books who also is an ex-Gull player.
The 20-year-old Coventry-born youngster, who made his debut in a Worthington Cup-tie at Gillingham nearly two-and-a-half years ago, spent a large part of that 2000-2001 season on a tantalising loan to Celtic.
His spell at Parkhead turned out to have been a double-edged sword, because the Glasgow club eventually sent him back to Torquay, and he has struggled to re-establish himself there.
After initially impressing Roy McFarland at the start of last season, he has played in only eleven games since, most of them as a substitute, and it became increasingly clear this season that he was not part of Leroy Rosenior's plans.
Meanwhile Michael Rose will be available for Tuesday night's game with Margate as the National Game XI squad has been repicked from non-conference players.
