Hereford have confirmed that midfielder Cherif Baba Yaya’s loan from Nottingham Forest has ended.

The Benin-born defensive midfielder joined the Bulls from Forest’s academy in January 2026, along with Cormac Daly, having previously impressed at Portuguese side Rio Ave.

Yaya made two substitute appearances during his short spell with the Bulls, which was initially said to be until the end of the season.

A recruit of former manager Paul Caddis, the Scot said at the time that Yaya “comes with a high pedigree and enthusiasm”.
