Matty Done - Profile

We take a closer look at Hereford's new signing Matt Done.

Done was born in Oswerty on the 26th June 1988, which makes him 20 in nine days time. He studied at Marches School and Technology College in Oswerty. He broke into the Wrexham first team at the start of the 2006/2007 season, although he had made a handful of appearences from the bench the previous season. His debut came against Doncaster Rovers in the Carling Cup. Goals for Done came against Grimsby Town on his full debut, and he also scored in the memorable 4-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the Carling Cup.

Done has faced Hereford four times for Wrexham, impressing in all of the games. His first appearence came in the 2006/2007 season, when a Steve Evans header at The Racecourse handed Wrexham the points. Done looked lively throughout and was described as "swashbuckling" after the game. The winger then faced United at Edgar Street, where two Alan Connell goals ensured a home victory. Last season, Done started both games against Hereford, and played well on both occasion. At The Racecourse, Done caused plenty of problems for Trent McClenahan although his final ball let him down. At Edgar Street towards the end of the season, Wrexham were relegated despite Done's best efforts. The following extract comes from a Bullsnews match report. "Done's impressive running for Wrexham caused one Hereford fan to liken him to Paul Parry".

Done had been on Graham Turner's shopping list for a while, despite the winger turning down Hereford in January. However, Turner's perserverance has led to him getting his man, and hopefully Done will show his ability in League One this coming season.

Meanwhile, Alex Russell has joined Cheltenham Town on a two year deal following his release from Bristol City. The midfielder was linked with a loan move to United in January, but turned down The Bulls.
