Interviewed after this afternoon firendly at Rushall, Hereford's Brad Wade said he was 'really enjoying' his time at the club.
Wade kept a clean sheet and saved a penalty in the game.
"I really enjoying it," said Wade.
"It's a really good opportunity for me to get a full season of games in and it's something I'm really looking forward to."
Wade played for Guiseley, on loan from Rochdale, against Hereford last season.
"It's a great set-up (at Edgar Street).
"I was buzzing with the amount of people in for a pre-season game. I'm looking forward to playing in front of the fans."
Wade saved a pernalty after what looked like a hand ball in the box.
"It was tough, the penalty was a bit scruffy which makes it even more difficult. A clean strike means you probably get down easier. I'm just glad that I saved it and kept a clean sheet.
"I'm like the ball at my feet and I'll try and help the lads as much as I can.
"I'm more than comfortable with the ball at my feet and I'll look to find passes that perhaps look quite difficult and try and get full backs out. It's something I feel is a strength of mine.
"I need as many games under my belt as I can because I've not played anywhere near enough football as I would like over the past couple of years.
"It's definitely a benefit that I've played at this level before, I know what some teams will do. I think it helps massively.
"We've got Scarborough second game of the season that's on this surface so it's a good test for the boys getting used to the surface.
"It's up to the defence as well but from a personal point of view you are looking at through the course of the season 15,20 clean sheets in all competitions. One in three.
"Obviously I look to keep a clean sheet in every game but you've got to be realistic that's probably not going to happen so one in three or four is all right.
"It's a great group of lads, the standard in training is high, we're all pushing for the same thing this season.
"We're now looking forward to next week, hopefully the standard will keep improving.
"It's always good to keep a clean sheet that's the target isn't it."
How did Wade's move to Hereford come about?
"It was a phone call that I received from my agent telling me of the gaffer's interest.
"It was just something I was keen to get done straight away."
Did you come to Edgar Street to look around?
"No but I was aware of the crowds that the club brings in and that was obviously a benefit of joining the club.
"I know it's a big club and I've had friends who have been at the club before and I've spoken to them and what it's like and it was only positive. It was an easy decision."
And how has Wade adapted to the back four?
"Zac and Haines at the back are brilliant. They are both leaders and they talk and I probably talk a bit too much rubbish when I'm playing so they are probably ignoring me half the time but it's been an easy transition to play with the lads."
