Bulls may benefit if Williams moves to Hull

Hull are said to be about to increase their offer for Gavin Williams and if accepted it seems that Hereford United could benefit.

Bulls News reported that Williams was out of contract when he moved to Yeovil which was strictly correct but a report in the archives from May 2002 suggests that Graham Turner agreed a deal which included a sell on clause.

The report said: "Meanwhile, today's Hereford Times reports a fee of £22,500 was paid for Gavin Williams, including a 25% sell on clause.

Turner commented: "It was disappointing to lose Gavin - and for such a small fee - but he was out of the contract here and if you look at the deal he has been offered by Yeovil it's quite startling for a Conference club. If we hadn't agreed a fee with Yeovil, his price would have been settled by a transfer tribunal - and we couldn't afford to take that risk in light of past experiences, particularly with Dean Smith."

So with a six figure deal likely if Williams is sold, Hereford United could benefit by at least £25,000.

It is also rumoured that Doncaster Rovers are watching Williams.
