THERE is now a new, yet familiar face on the Hereford Times sportsdesk.

Head of sport content Paul Rogers is moving to Leominster to work as a journalist for Lynchpin Media.

But his successor is well known to HT readers as Ben Goddard has spent just over two years on the paper's newsdesk.

"I am sad to leave my role at the paper because I have built many friendships and covered some great stories, but feel now is the time to move on," said Paul.

"But Ben knows the county's sporting well and I am confident he will succeed in his new position.

"I wish him well."

Ben can be contacted at bgo@herefordtimes.com or 01432 845870.
