HEREFORD FC have signed former Worcester City and Gloucester City Mike Symons.

Symons, who was released by National League North side Gloucester last week, has also had spells with Forest Green Rovers, Cirencester Town, Clevedon Town and Oxford City.

"Mike comes with good pedigree and has a track record of scoring goals in a higher league than where we are at the moment," Hereford manager Pete Beadle told the club's official site.

“His strength and style of play gives us another option in attack, which can only be beneficial to the team.

"He gives us more of a physical presence than we perhaps have at the moment, but having said that he can also get the ball down and play football.

“We fought off stiff competition from a number of clubs higher in the pyramid than us, but he has seen what we have got going here, he has heard about the tremendous support we have, and he wants to be a part of it.”
