Former Hereford FC Academy graduate, Toby Raison has signed his first professional contract with The Bulls after impressing during pre-season.
Raison started training with the first-team squad at the end of last season and has featured heavily during the 2020/21 pre-season campaign.
“He’s got a great attitude and always willing to learn,” said Gowling, “it’s great to have someone like that around. He’s always looking to improve; he’s done extra work with the senior players and is always listening to the advice he’s given.”
Speaking shortly after signing, Toby said: “I’m absolutely buzzing to get this over the line, I’m a local boy, I was with the U18s last year and with the Academy when I was younger so I know the club well.”
At times during the pre-season campaign, Raison has been handed the captain’s duties and he says it was a real privilege “it was a massive honour to captain the club, I’m only just starting out, but it’s definitely something that is a proud achievement for me.
“I believe in hard work, if you put in everything you can then you can’t have any regrets, and that’s my attitude. I like to think I’ve worked hard over the years to earn this opportunity, and I’m going to keep working hard to make the most of it as well.
