Craig Jones Returns To Edgar Street

FORMER United youngster Craig Jones has rejoined the Bulls.

The 23-year-old came through the ranks at Edgar and went on to make 11 first-team appearances for the Bulls before being released in 2010.

He subsequently joined Midland Alliance outfit Westfields and has since had what he describes as “three good seasons” with the club.

Speaking to the Hereford United website, Jones said: “There’s a few people who might think I wasn’t good enough last time round, but it would be great to prove them wrong.

“I’ve put my head down since being released, it was disappointing, but I made the decision to work hard and I’ve had three good season’s at Westfields.”

Bulls boss Martin Foyle commented: “We’ve had an eye on Craig for a while, and his name was mentioned a lot by supporters who have been recommending players to us.

“The feedback from the fans helped us make up our minds to give him a chance again.

“I’ve bought him in now until the end of the season to give him a chance to prove himself in competitive football. He won’t just be sat on the bench, I don’t want to just look at him in training, I need to see how he can compete in this league.

“Some people say he didn’t get a decent chance last time around, now it’s his chance to prove some people wrong.

“We’ve had a look at him in training, he’s got a good left foot, a good footballing brain, it’s up to him now to show he’s good enough.”
