Former Hereford United midfielder Ben Smith has said he is open to an offer from Martin Allen's Cheltenham Town as he continues his search to find a new club after leaving Hereford this summer.
"From a personal point of view it would be ideal, so we will see what happens over the next few weeks," Smith said, with the comments appearing on thisisgloucestershire.co.uk
"I live in Worcester so it's only 25 minutes down the road. The manager invited me to train and we will have a look at things, see how it goes and have chat as pre-season goes on. Whether I sign for Cheltenham or not, it's good for me as I need to be training and keeping myself ticking over."
"I was pretty close to coming to Cheltenham a couple of years ago and it was between them and Hereford. It was the right decision because we had a great season getting promoted to League One. Last season wasn't ideal, but overall I enjoyed both my spells at Hereford."
Smith did however give an indication that he still wants to be playing at Edgar Street this coming season, "I don't regret going there, but unless they come back to me with another offer, which I don't envisage happening now, it's probably time for me to move and look somewhere else."
Meanwhile former Hereford United loanee Chris Palmer has joined Gillingham following a recent spell at Walsall.
