England international Bowen, who played for Hereford in 2014, has now helped fund much-needed improvements to the ground.

Bowen said: “I’m delighted to announce that after lengthy and numerous discussions with club officials at Hereford FC (United), along with the founding shareholders of the club, I will be contributing towards much-needed maintenance on the hallowed turf at Edgar Street.

“Not only is it important for Hereford FC to be playing consistent home games on a well-maintained surface at Edgar Street, but for me it’s also vitally important for the youth of Herefordshire to play their traditional finals on the pitch.

“I’ve been lucky enough to have played on the pitch as a junior in these finals and as a senior player at the very start of my professional career, but it was those moments as a child that still hold fondest memories for me and the family.

“I feel it’s a fantastic opportunity for myself to give something back to not only the club, but the community that gave me an opportunity within football.”
