Rix soon on his way to Edgar Street

Hopefully Ben Rix will be at Edgar Street shortly to bolster the Bulls' midfield.

The Crewe injury situation is improving and manager Dario Gradi says that as soon as either Lee Ball or Tony Grant are considered fit then 23 year old Rix will be able to come to Hereford United.

"We'd let Ben go out on loan to further his career. We're happy to have him here, but he could go out on loan as soon as I've got Tony or Lee fit," explained the Crewe boss.

Neither Ball or Grant featured for Crewe yesterday. Rix came on for eleven minutes replacing Martin O'Connor who is on his way back from injury.
