Purdie Distances UITC From Club


Rob Purdie After His Last Home Game For Hereford United
Former Hereford United utility player Rob Purdie has become involved with United In The Community.

Purdie will help coach the senior players.

In an interview in today's Hereford Times Purdie stressed that the new set-up is independent from Hereford United.

"We are not Hereford United's youth team anymore after the club decided to end their youth system due to financial reasons," said Purdie.

"But we are giving people from Hereford a chance to progress in football.

"Our under-18 team would have been the Hereford United youth team had that continued but I think we have a good bunch of players.

"Nick Nenadich, who is our chairman, wanted me to use my experience of playing for Hereford United and to get that across to the lads.

"I want us to do well in the leagues so we can get publicity to help more people from Herefordshire understand the work we do in the community."
