Only three left from retained list to sign

With Mark Robinson gone to Stockport, only three players from Graham Turner's retained list have not yet signed for next season.

Andrew Tretton, Tamika Mkandawire and Craig Stanley are the three players.

Ryan Green, Simon Travis, Tony James, Jamie Pitman, Adam Stansfield, Rob Purdie, Daniel Carey-Bertram, Craig Mawson and youngsters Andrew Williams and Sam Gwynne have agreed new deals.

So out of the 14 players Turner has offered deals to, ten have accepted, one has left and three are "thinking it over".

Of the three, Stanley is beleived to have agreed a new deal and this might well be announced tomorrow.

Both Tretton and Mkandawire have been offered improved terms and it is thought an announcement about either or both staying at Edgar Street come also come in the next few days.

The Hereford United manager, Graham Turner, has told the Hereford Times that he is meeting Mkandawire later this week.

"I am very optimistic that he will be re-signing," he said.

Turner, now back from holiday, will be looking for about eight new signings to bring the squad up to around 20. He is said to have been in talks with two players, one from a League club and one from the Conference.

Meanwhile the Cup game against Westfields left over from last season will be played on Saturday August 6th.
