Turner talks about recruiting new players

Graham Turner has been telling BBC Hereford and Worcester about how his quest for new signings is going.

"We've had one knock back; one who's still thinking about it and one's going to come and have a little period with us so we can take a look at him and he can take a look at the club.

"League players' contracts finished at the end of June, but they are entitled to a month's severance pay, so they're still being paid.

"There's been no urgency to get them settled down, but it's getting to the stage where agents are starting to get concerned for them and you can see something happening through the month of July where players start to make up their minds."

Turner admits he can't offer as much money to players as some other clubs so has to attract them to Hereford in other ways like suggesting how he can improve young players.

"It's a good selling point when you're trying to sign younger players and you've got competition for them from other clubs.

"Maybe we can't compete financially, but we can certainly compete from a professional point of view regarding an improvement of that individual.

"I say to players that money is always important, but at certain stages of their career it's not the most important thing; they've got to start to get up the ladder again, and there's no better place to do that than here."
