Graham Turner has confirmed to BBC Hereford and Worcester that midfielder Simon Osborn has decided not to join Hereford.
"He told me last week that he wasn't interested in continuing with us. He would prefer now to move back down south; his wife was keen to go down there, so that's where he is going."
Turner also told Trevor Owens that for the first time in a while, he had made an offer involving a fee.
"I actually made an offer for a player; I must have had a mental aberration! We're obviously trying to strengthen the squad; I felt the offer was a realistic one, but it was turned down."
"We would have like to have brought somebody in; the search will continue as we want to get somebody into the club to strengthen things. We're a bit light in midfield; that's where we would like to bring a body in."
Turner went onto to talk about Stuart Fleetwood after his fantastic hattrick against Coventry.
"He's got to keep his feet on the floor. Sometimes with young players they get carried away with a bit of success and the acclaim that they have had."
"Stuart is a level headed lad; if he continues to work hard we can benefit from that because he looks full of goals at the moment."
Finally, Turner went on to discuss the level of football they have now set themselves.
"We'll be emphasising the good points from the Coventry match; the standards that we set ourselves in that game, and we've got to maintain those standards.
"The message to the players will be: "You've done it once; there's no reason why you shouldn't do it repeatedly in the league"".
