SPECULATION over John Brough's future as Cinderford Town manager has come to an end after Hereford FC announced Peter Beadle as their new boss.

Brough had been linked with the role at the phoenix club, having spent four years as a player at Edgar Street.

However, Hereford made the appointment on Friday - much to the relief of Town fans who have revelled in seeing Brough's approach work wonders at The Causeway.

It leaves the former Bishop's Cleeve manager poised to continue Cinderford's progress, having come close to leading Town to the Southern League Division One South & West play-offs.
