HEREFORD FC striker Jamie Cuss has revealed he needs to raise £10,000 to fund a knee operation in order to carry on playing for the Bulls.

Cuss was injured during an FA Cup match against Romulus after twisting his leg on the artificial surface, resulting in a tear to his Anterior Cruiciate Ligament.

"Despite rest and rehabilitation I was unable to overcome the injury and my only way forward to continue playing for Hereford FC is to undergo surgery," explains Cuss,

"Unfortunately at this level the only way for this to happen is to self fund an operation - the NHS waiting list is over 12 months so is not an option.

"The club have been fantastic in supporting me and are behind me in my quest to return to where I was only six months ago.

"Being self employed, not only is the amount prohibitive but I will also have to be off for a substantial period before I can continue working.

"Being a local lad I have always been a Hereford fan.

"I was a mascot when I was six years old when Hereford United played Wimbledon in the FA Cup.

"I was also a Junior Bull too.

"I have represented top sides in the county and now to be appearing for Hereford FC is a dream for a long life fan.

"I really want to continue my career at Edgar Street so I am asking all friends and fans if they can help me to achieve this.

"I will be holding events in the coming weeks and months to help with funding the operation and it would be great if you can help me reach my goal by donating via my Just Giving page."
