Keyte wants to keep 14/15 Players

Bulls chairman David Keyte has given an update to the Hereford Times about players contracts.

"We have offered a 12-month deal to Nicky Featherstone and two-year deals to James McQuilkin and Adam Bartlett," said Keyte.

"We are happy that we have got a mid-division League 2 side from the second part of the season and we want to get 14 or 15 of those players tied down.

"We will try to improve on the side in other areas," said Keyte.

Meanwhile the following ten players will be at Edgar Street next season, although there is a view that Sean Canham may move to Kidderminster on a season long loan. He spent much of the last couple of months with the Conference side.

Adam Bartlett - official confirmation awaited/Confirmed
Dan Connor
Ryan Green
Janos Kovacs
Michael Townsend
Sean Canham
Kenny Lunt
Joe Colbeck
James McQuilken - official confirmation awaited
Stuart Fleetwood

Others offered deals:

Nicky Featherstone - Deal now Confirmed
Stefan Stam - offical confirmation awaited

Assuming all 12 of the above players agree new deals, then it looks, from the Chairman's words, as though just three other players from this season will be offered new deals.

With the news that Ryan Valentine is set to leave Edgar Street and the expectation that Russell Hoult is unlikely to be registered as a goalkeeper next season, that leaves just seven contracted players.

Richard Rose
Rob Purdie
Daniel Stratford
Sam Malson
Sam Gwynne
Aidan Thomas
Tyler Weir

Finally, there are several on loan or short term players currently with the Bulls they are:

Jason Price
Steven Leslie
Adrian Patulea
Joe Heath
Waide Fairhurst
