IT could be all change in goal for Hayes and Yeading United next season after Garry Haylock revealed he is homing in on an experienced custodian.

The manager's phone has not stopped ringing with calls from potential targets and those offering their services, and it looks like his persistence is on the verge of paying off.He wants someone to challenge Delroy Preddie for the number one shirt next season and admits it would represent something of a coup if he gets his man.

"I'm hoping to have a goalkeeper sorted very soon," said Haylock. "We're not a million miles away and I would be delighted to get someone who is a professional and has plenty of Conference experience."

If Haylock does land his target, it could prompt Preddie's understudy, 20-year-old Aaron Howe, to leave Church Road.

"He is probably going to leave the club as he wants to play games," added the United manager.

"He feels he might not get many games with us (next season), even though he would like to stay. If he does go, we will keep in touch and chat with him in the future."

Haylock is also seeking a left-back after Gary McDonald's departure for Havant and Waterlooville.

"I've got three coming in for pre-season and I'd like to take one.

"One is at a pro club while another has Premiership experience, but like any player we look at, they have to be able to fit in at the club."

Haylock, who is also chasing a central midfielder, says the club are also close to offering new deals to several players whose current contracts are up.

Midfielder Will Hendry is stalling about whether to sign the one he has been offered by the club.

Haylock said: "He hasn't turned it down and he hasn't said yes yet."

The club are holding football camps at The Warren from July 27 to 31 and August 3 to 7.

Haylock and several players, including James Mulley and Tom Cadmore, will be on hand to coach children from primary school age up to 12.

The cost is £45 per week and anyone interested can call Haylock on 07921 001 696.

The club plan to enlist the services of a strength and conditioning coach to help them cope with the pace of the Blue Square Premier.

The players return for pre-season training on June 27 and are likely to be put through their paces by not only the coaching staff, but someone who can push the envelope on the fitness front.

The players will have been expected to look after themselves in the holidays but Garry Haylock wants to ensure they are not only keen, but lean and mean as the new season kicks off.
