Bartlett and Southam - Profiles

Here are profiles of Hereford's two fresh faces, Adam Bartlett and Glen Southam.

Adam Bartlett: The 23 year old 'keeper began his career with Newcastle United as a youngster before signing for Conference North outfit Blyth Spartans. After impressing for Blyth, Bartlett was snapped up by Mark Yates for Kidderminster Harriers. Bartlett had an impressive season in 2008/2009 for Harriers and was a regular for the England C team. Bartlett featured in the Conference play-off final last season for Cambridge United, after joining the U's on an emergency loan deal after an injury to their first-team shot-stopper. Bartlett was recently awarded the Conference 'goalkeeper of the year award.

Speaking to the Official Hereford United website, John Trewick has expressed his delight at capturing Bartlett. "He's coming in as number one goalkeeper. I've spoken to him about it. I'm delighted to welcome him to the club and I'm sure he'll do very well for us.

Glen Southam: The 29 year old midfielder started his career with Fulham as a youngster before joining Tottenham. After failing to break into the first-team at either club, Southam had a spell with non-league Enfield before joining Bishop's Stortford where he firmly established himself. Southam linked up with Dagenham and Redbridge in 2004 making over 200 appearences and scoring 25 goals for the London based club, helping them to seal promotion in 2007 from the Conference. He agreed a mutual termination with manager John Still at the end of the season just gone. Southam, like Bartlett, has also featured for the England C team.

Trewick on Southam - "Glen is a good player, capable of scoring goals from midfield and he can play in a number of positions including attacking midfield".
