ROB Elmes and Chris Lane are the latest players to commit themselves to Hereford United next season.

Striker Elmes has agreed a two-year part-time contract, while defender Lane has signed a one-year deal.

Young midfielder John Shirley has signed a one-year professional contract after impressing under the YTS scheme, while Director of Football Graham Turner says he is close to reaching agreement with midfielder John Snape.

Ian Rodgerson will remain at the club on a non-contract basis and will combine his playing role with physiotherapists' duties.

Turner is also tracking several potential newcomers, saying: "We have been talking to one or two players."
