Will McLean Play Against Newcastle This Afternoon?

 

Hereford FC make their first ever trip to Newcastle this afternoon for the sixth pre-season friendly.

Just in case of any misunderstanding it's Newcastle Town in Staffordshire not Newcastle United.

This friendly has no doubt been arranged as part of the transfer deal when Ryan McLean moved to Edgar Street from Newcastle.

Initally McLean came on loan back last February. His first game was behind closed doors at Edgar Street in a 2-0 win against Brackley. He came on as a substitute in the 72 minute.

After the game manager Josh Gowling said he was 'delighted' with his performance.

"We are going to call him the road-runner.

"He’s got pace in abundance and he’s lively."

And that pace has shown up in several of Hereford recent friendlies, particularily against Shrewsbury. 

Just before pre-season started Mclean's loan was made permanent. He signed a two year deal with Hereford.

However he had to sit out last Tuesday's game against Cheltenham following problems with the 'transfer process'.

Whether he can play this afternoon remains to be seen.
