Hereford sign former Cheltenham midfielder

Hereford have just announced the signing of Dylan Barkers, a midfielder with some step two and step three experience.

He started his career at Solihull Moors before moving to Guiseley and then Alvechurch.

The midfielder was then picked up by Cheltenham Town where he spent two seasons.

While there, he had loan spells at Leamington, Gloucester and Maidstone United.

"A presence in midfield that will bring extra fight in the middle of the park," the club said on their website.

The 23-year-old was released by Cheltenham at the end of the 2022–23 season.

Cheltenham head coach Wade Elliot previously said Barkers was a "talented boy who has lots of good attributes".

He also trialled for Leicester City U23s against Liverpool in 2019 while on the books at Guiseley, according to the Worcester News.
