Hereford United's exciting utility player Gavin Williams has joined Nationwide Conference rivals Yeovil Town.

The 21-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Somerset side, having failed to agree a deal to stay with the Bulls after his contract expired at the end of the season.

The two clubs are currently negotiating a transfer fee.

Williams came through from the YTS ranks to establish himself in the first team at Edgar Street, missing just seven games in the last four seasons. He scored 28 Conference goals for the club.

He said: "I'm a bit sad to be leaving Hereford. I've had five good years there but I just felt the time was right to move on.

"Yeovil could be a big club, and they got the best crowds in the league last year so hopefully if we do well on the pitch the crowds will come and hopefully we'll get promoted.

Trials

"There were one or two clubs I could have gone for trial with but I don't think it was right to go for trials. I came down to Yeovil and liked what I saw and I thought it was right for me."

Yeovil boss Gary Johnson said: "He's a quality player and these sort of players don't come along every day. The best thing about it is that he sees the potential in us just as much as we see the potential in him."
