Randolph started his career with Charlton and came to Edgar Street on loan in July 2008.
He was praised for an 'outstanding' performance against Leeds when just one of their 19 shots on target went past him.
However his time with Hereford United is probably best remembered for a game he didn't play in.
Speculation that another goalkeeper, later revealed to be Matt Murray, would be joining the club upset Randolph and he refused to play in an FA Cup game against Dagenham and Redbridge on November 8th.
Manager Graham Turner wasn't happy and fined him two weeks wages.
Later Turner released a statement.

In view of the
speculation about the absence of Darren Randolph from the team that
played against Dagenham & Redbridge in the FA Cup last Saturday, the
situation needs to be clarified.
The team, which included Darren, was announced to the players prior to Friday morning’s training.
Two hours before kick-off on Saturday Darren informed me that he had heard we were interested in another goalkeeper therefore he refused to take part in the match.
Had he been a contracted player with us his contract would have been terminated for a serious breach of its terms. However, being on a standard loan the maximum disciplinary action we can take is to fine him two weeks wages.
Darren has to remain our player until January but it is unlikely that he will play for us again.
