Graham Turner has acted on his promise to strength the Hereford United squad with the news that two young players from Walsall are coming to Edgar Street.
Walsall have published the following:
THE SADDLERS have allowed first-year professionals, Daryl Taylor and Leroy Williams to join Nationwide Conference outfit, Hereford United on loan until the end of the season.
The duo burst onto the scene in the opening game of the season as they came off the substitutes' bench to inspire Walsall to victory over Port Vale.
Having scored in each of his first three senior appearances for the club, 20 year-old Taylor has been in and out of the side this term. A player of undoubted pace and ability, it is felt that a spell at a lower level will do him good as was the case with namesake Kris who linked up with Burton Albion earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, livewire front-man, Williams has also failed to make the impact that many expected following his explosive start. The 18-year-old, who was given a professional contract after just one year of his three-year Scholarship programme, has started only two League games this season, coming off the bench on a further eight occasions in all competitions as well as featuring regularly for the reserves.
They join a Hereford United side that are pushing for a place in the Conference play-offs having agonisingly just missed out on promotion back into The Football League last term.
"This is an ideal opportunity for them to further their footballing education," said player-manager Paul Merson. "The Conference is a good standard and they join a well-run club who are pushing for a play-off place."
