Caddis yet to release anyone as he wants to keep as many players as possible

Paul Caddis has not yet released any player and has said he wants to keep as many as possible.

Speaking to the official club website, Caddis said: “After only narrowly missing out on the play-offs after a full rebuild and with a completely new squad, I think keeping as many of the current squad here as possible is important.

“I want to be clear though, that while terms have been discussed with players, it is a fact that in football some offers will be accepted, and some won’t.

“We have players who have already been made better offers than we can hope to compete with and others who are looking at different opportunities, including one or two looking at offers overseas.

“However, rest assured we have all scenarios covered and I will be in the market to freshen the squad up regardless of how the current talks pan out."

The Hereford boss, who has just signed a year-long contract extension, has emphasised again how the club cannot get into a financial battle for players.

Andy Williams has already said he would stay at Edgar Street but the deal isn't finished yet.
