Is this striker about to sign for Hereford?

Could Dan Sweeney, second left, be signing for Hereford?

There are rumours that striker Dan Sweeney could be set to sign for Hereford FC.

The former Bromsgrove Sporting player, who featured in the Worcestershire side's FA Cup game against Hereford last September, had signed for Macclesfield.

But earlier this month he revealed he was a free agent after just three months at the now Northern Premier League champions.

This evening, he tweeted a picture of himself playing for Bromsgrove at Edgar Street simply saying "back soon" with a football emoji.

When he joined the Silkmen, a phoenix club like Hereford, it was said to be for an undisclosed fee after netting eighteen goals in 22 starts for Bromsgrove.

He was described as a "player who is unquestionably on an upward trajectory in his career".

Standing at 6ft 2in, the club boasted about their new signing's "physicality and controlled aggression", as well as his "rapid pace that allows him to beat his man with ease".

The 25-year-old scored just four goals in seven appearances.

The club's owner Robert Smethurst then allegedly said on social media that Sweeney’s agent had "moved the goal posts" in relation to Sweeney re-signing.

Whether he has actually signed for Hereford remains to be seen, but replies to the tweet suggest that he may well have.
