Brady talks about his move

Jon Brady who has left Stevenage for Conference rivals Hereford has told the Comet that "I never wanted to leave the club".

The 29-year-old, who lives in Northampton, will link up with another former Stevenage player, Simon Travis, at Edgar Street.

"I didn't want to leave but circumstances forced me into it. I was offered a substantially lesser deal and it was not even enough to pay my mortgage.

"Graham Turner really wanted me to go to Hereford and I appreciate that.

"I've been at Stevenage for a year and a half and I didn't want this to happen. The whole situation has surprised me with the way I played since Christmas.

"I've had a superb time with the fans and playing down the right in front of the East Terrace was brilliant. I would really like to thank the fans and all the players; I've left some good mates there."
