Hereford make first summer signing
Hereford United have swooped for their first summer signing, with Telford United's Jordan King moving to Edgar Street.
The deal reverses the trend after both scout Ron Jukes and defender Matt Clarke switched to the New Bucks Head earlier this month.
Jordan, son of former Telford boss Jake, signs a one-year deal at Edgar Street and the twenty-year-old midfielder is eager to impress Graham Turner
He told the Shropshire Star: "I spoke to Mick (Jones) at Telford and he said he was not sure whether I had a future at the club. I decided to go down to Hereford for some talks with Graham and was very impressed with what he had to say.
"Graham has got an excellent reputation as a coach and is keen to move the club forward so I can not wait to get started."
An injury hit 2002/03 saw just seventeen starts for the Bucks, but he has reverted to full-time status. "I will be going full-time so hopefully I can avoid injuries and make a place in the first-team my own," he continued. "I maybe haven't started as many games as I would have liked with injuries but I have had a good three years at Telford and hopefully that experience will stand me in good stead now.
"Hereford only just missed out on the play-offs last season and they are determined to have another go this time round so hopefully we can have a successful season."
