Halifax after Fortune-West

Halifax Town are beleived to be interested in signing Leo Fortune-West.

The 6ft 4in striker was released by Doncaster at the end of last season. His appearances for the club were curtailed by injuries.

Rushden and Diamonds are also thought to have made enquires about the player. It is reported that their manager Paul Hart met West recently. Hart is set to sign a striker on Friday according to the R&D website.

Now 35, Fortune-West has said he might become a referee or possibly combine playing for another season whilst he trained as a referee.

Meanwhile Halifax manager Chris Wilder has cited Hereford United as an example to follow to get the Shaymen out of the Conference.

"Hereford is the model we are looking to run on," Wilder told Halifax Today.

"When they were relegated they had financial problems and gradually improved those over the years.

"Off the pitch they came out of a cva and then went on to look at the playing side to get into a position where they could compete to get out of the league.

"If we can keep on improving the club we might enjoy a bit more success."
