Gasheads confirm interest in Williams

The Bristol Rovers manager has confirmed his club's interest in Hereford United striker Andy Williams but admits that any deal 'is a long way from being done.'

The Rovers board has given Paul Trollope permission to strengthen his squad but although discussions are said to have taken place with Hereford it is no more than an 'ongoing situation.'

"There has been interest, we've never denied that," Trollope told bristolrovers.co.uk.

"He is a player that interests us, but at the minute nothing is happening on that front.

"We missed a few targets during the summer and into pre-season, and he has been well up on that list for that period of time.

"It's something we've looked at, and there have been discussions. But at the moment all we can say really is that it's an ongoing situation."

Trollope has also spoken about his club's present position in the League.

"We know that Hereford is a big game for us, and we need the three points. If we can get them then the world will be a much rosier place and we can starting looking upwards.

"We've had Hereford watched and I've seen them play, and they've come up from the Conference and got some decent results. They have a few front men capable of scoring, but I am confident that if we work hard and keep our minds focused then we will be ok."
