Colbeck signs for Bulls

Joe Colbeck has signed for Hereford United on a two year deal.

23 year old Colbeck is a right winger formerly with Oldham Athletic. He joins the Bulls on a free transfer.

"Joe is just the ideal attacking winger we've been looking for throughout pre-season and I think he is the final piece in the jigsaw " said Hereford United manager Simon Davey.

Born 29th November 1986, Colbeck joined his hometown club, Bradford City, as a youth team player in 2002, making his debut two years later. He played more than 100 league games for Bradford, and won the club's player of the season award during the 2007–08 campaign. He joined Oldham Athletic on transfer deadline day in September 2009, rejoining manager Dave Penney, for whom he previously played during a six-game loan spell at Darlington.

He was transferred listed by Oldham earlier this month.

Whilst with Bradford he played against the Bulls twice in the 2007/08 season.

His signing brings the number in the squad to 18 which doesn't include Samba Kanoute who is still expected to sign making 19.

Whether Davey will confirm the signing of one of the young trialists who featured late in the game last night against Plymouth remains to be seen.

Davey recently said he wanted a squad of 20.
