HEREFORD FC have confirmed that assistant manager Matt Bishop is to leave the Bulls. 

Bisop has been linked to a move to Aberystwyth and he told the Hereford Times that juggling his role at Hereford with his full-time job with the FA washad proved difficult. 

Hereford manager Pete Beadle paid tribute to the work Bishop has played this season. 

“Bish has played a massive part in what we have achieved this season," Beadle told the Hereford FC official website.

"He has been a great assistant manager, and a friend to myself and the players.

“I know he will always have a place in his heart for Hereford and will continue to keep an eye on our results and progress.

“This was an incredibly tough decision for him, but the demands of his full time job at the FA, that in itself includes a lot of time away from his family, and the increased travelling distances involved during next season's campaign have meant that he has no choice.

"He quite rightly has to put his family first, and we fully understand and respect his decision.

“I’m sure you will all join me in thanking Matt for his hard work and dedication, and in wishing him the very best of luck in the future in whatever he chooses to do.”
