Delroy Facey
Facey, who left Lincoln City after they were relegated from the Football League, signed a one year deal with the Bulls.
The Grenada international scored three goals in as many games against Hereford last season!
The Bulls will be the striker's 11th club since beginning his career at Huddersfield in the mid-1990's!
Again, from the maxihobbs boys: 'An astute bit of business by Pitman here. Facey’s injury was largely regarded by Lincoln fans as their failure to get results in the lead up to their relegation and the stats would only agree with them. Don’t expect Facey to trouble the top scorer charts but his experience in this league is vital, accompany that with his strength and hold up play and Hereford could have a fruitful partnership with Facey and Fleetwood.'

HISTORY
Founded in 1924, Hereford United have played atEdgar Streetfor their entire history and are nicknamed 'The Whites' or 'The Lilywhites', after their predominately white kit, or 'The Bulls' after thelocal breed of cattle.
The club's motto is"Our greatest glory lies not in never having fallen, but in rising when we fall".
Hereford shot to national prominence in 1972 when, as aSouthern League team, theyknocked top-flight Newcastle United out of the FA Cup.In the same season they were elected to the Football League, and reached theold Second Divisionby1976. But after a rapid decline into theFourth Division, where they spent nineteen seasons, they were eventually relegated on the final day of the1996-97 seasonwith serious financial troubles.
Graham Turner purchased the majority shareholding in 1998 saving the club from probable extinctionand, after nine seasons in the Conference, Hereford returned to the Football League by winning the2006 Conference Playoff Final. Turner purchased just two players between 1997 and 2008 for a combined total of £40,000.
At the end of the2007-08 season Hereford were promoted to League One, despite being tipped to struggle,by finishing third inLeague Two.2008-09saw the club play in the third tier of English football for the first time since 1978, but a season of struggle saw them relegated back to the fourth tier on 18 April 2009. Turner subsequently stepped down as manager, paving the way forJohn Trewickto become manager. However, Trewick did not last a full season after a disappointing campaign and was dismissed on 8 March 2010; and Turner once again took over first team duties on a temporary basis.
David Keyte was announced as the new club chairman on 4 June 2010 with Tim Russon as the new vice-chairman.
They appointed Simon Davey as manager on 22 June 2010.Davey was sacked on 4 October 2010 after poor league form. He was succeeded by physio Jamie Pitman who acted as caretaker manager until he was made manager on a full time basis until the end of the 2010-11 season after he had overseen a dramatic turn around in form.
Pitman was rewarded with a two-year extention to his contract keeping him at the Bulls until 2013, unless things go pear-shaped again!
