Gloucester Sign Two Youngsters

Gloucester City has signed two youngsters who have had experience at Ashton Gate.

Vincent Harper, 18, joins on loan until the end of the year from the Championship side. Harper, who can operate at wing-back or as a forward, was awarded with a professional contract after appearing for the Robins’ U-18 side last season. He started for Gloucester in the last friendly at Wells.


Kieran Smith, also 18 and a right-back, was released by Bristol City at the end of the season after six seasons in the academy there. He has appeared in nearly all of the Tigers pre-season friendlies.

Also joining the Tigers is former Weston-super-Mare manager Marc McGregor. He will be the first team coach.

Hereford play Gloucester at Evesham next Tuesday.
