"I can be fit for the season" - Brown
David Brown, currently suffering from a broken collar-bone, has been talking to both BBC Hereford & Worcester and the Evening News about his former clubs and future hopes.
Brown started his football career at Manchester United where he spent three years learning his trade. "If you can't learn anything from playing with players of the quality of Eric Cantona you might as well hang up your boots, it was a fantastic experience," he said.
"They all had good attitudes and things I learned then I'm still trying to bring into my game now. I wanted to play first team football but it was clearly going to be difficult at Manchester so I decided I had to move and had three enjoyable years at Hull where we made the play-offs. "
Brown later switch from Hull City to Telford United, via Chester City and Torquay United, where he was spotted by Graham Turner.
"I'd played against Hereford three or four times and they've always been a team that plays good football which is something that I want from a team," he added. "I don't want to play for a team that hits long balls - that's not my game.
"I met Graham Turner, liked what he was saying and with the need for a fresh challenge felt this was the right move."
Of his hopes for the future, he said: "To do better than last year, both personally and for the club. I've enjoyed training so far. They are a good bunch of lads although quite a young squad. It's a good mix at the club so it's looking good for this year."
A pre-season training injury has set-back his chances of reaching the first team squad, but he is confident that his broken collarbone will not see him miss too much of the season. "It's a clean break and it's not too bad so hopefully I can be fit for the season," he continued. "At least I know what has happened to it and what I need to do to let it recover. Because it's a bone it just needs to heal so I've got to let nature take it's course and then I can get back in.
"There is never a good time but it's happened but at least I have got two weeks of pre-season behind me and I can do certain things to keep fit."
