HEREFORD United boss Graham Turner has turned down a bid from Third Division Yeovil Town for left-back Michael Rose, branding their written offer 'unacceptable'.

Meanwhile United's Rob Purdie pulled on an England shirt for the first time last night.

The Bulls' forward was making his debut for the England National Game XI in a clash against Italy at Shrewsbury Town's Gay Meadow.

The Italians won 4-1 in front of a 3,703 crowd with Purdie making a second-half substitute's appearance.
