Derby County Under-23s duo Matt Yates and Ethan Wassall have joined Hereford FC on initial month-long loan deals.



Goalkeeper Yates quickly became a fans favourite at Gloucester City after moving out on loan at the start of the campaign in order to gain first-team experience. However, his loan with Gloucester has now been terminated in order for him to link up with Hereford.

20-year-old defender Wassall will also spend the next month with the Vanarama National League - North side after making three Premier League 2 - Division 1 starts for the young Rams so far this season.
