Turner talks about Veiga

As reported earlier Hereford United had a new sub-goalie on the bench this afternoon. Jose Veiga is his name and whilst he is said to be 32 he looks somewhat younger.

"Situation where the transfer window had closed to emergency loans," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"We had to find somebody who hadn't been registered with, I think it's down to Conference North and South.

"Jose came in and trained a couple of days with us. We were reasonably impressed with what we saw.

"He's far better being our substitute goalkeeper than say having to put an outfield player in. As it stood it was always going to be Kris Taylor. But now I'm quite happy to have somebody who is used to keeping goal sat on the bench.

"It's not a contract. He's non-contract and will sit on the bench for certainly the next two matches and then we will take it on from there."
