yesterday transfer-listed by their English club, Hereford United.

Robin Fry, the managing director at the struggling Third Division club confirmed that the pair had been "circulated'' to see if any other club would be interested in them. No transfer fees have been set.

"The boys are available to other clubs because the manager (Greg Downs) has no future plans for them at the club,'' Fry explained.

"It would be far easier for them to find themselves other clubs now rather than at the end of the season when a number of players from other clubs will be given free transfers. Their names have been circulated to other clubs, that they are available, and anybody interested can talk to Greg.'' Hereford are languishing near the bottom of the Third Division for the second straight season though they are on a four-game unbeaten run, which has included draws against top teams Barnet and York. On Tuesday night they drew 1-1 at Walsall.

Hereford have a squad of 17 professionals and have circulated a few players, according to Fry. "Anybody in the full squad is available depending on the price,'' he stated.

Neither Wade nor Wade have been able to command regular places in the team since returning from the World Cup campaign, though they have been a part of the first-team squad for recent matches.

Last season Wade, the Bermuda captain, impressed Nottingham Forest during the team's FA Cup tie against the Premier League side, according to one of the British tabloid newspapers in its soccer transfer column, though nothing ever came of it.

The pair signed for Hereford at the end of 1991 under then manager John Sillett who spotted them playing in Bermuda and offered them trials.

Sillett quit last season and things have not gone well under player/manager Downs, who was player/coach when the pair first arrived. Their contracts expire at the end of the current season.

They learned of their plight from local agent Mark Trott who contacted them yesterday morning after receiving a fax from Downs the day before.

"We were off today because we had a match last night but I think he'll (Downs) probably say something tomorrow,'' said Jennings. "He hasn't said too much to us about anything, so we're mostly in the dark.'' Both players expressed confidence that they will be picked up by another club.

"Hopefully someone will come in for us, probably in a higher division,'' said Wade who turned 20 last Saturday.

"We knew this was going to happen. He had mentioned to Mark that it would be difficult for us to get back in the team after we returned from the World Cup.

It's a pity we don't have a reserve team so that we can show what we can do and get in the first team.'' Jennings insists he has no regrets about his World Cup participation, even his career as well as those of Wade and Shawn Goater at Rotherham appear to have been affected by the long absence from their clubs.

"It's not a matter of regretting the World Cup because it was a great experience for me,'' he said. "I don't regret playing for my country. I think we took something back (to England) knowledge-wise but we're not getting a chance to use it.'' The spirits of the players have fluctuated, but they are learning how demanding life as professional sportsmen is.

"We try to keep our heads up. Meshach motivates me and I motivate him,'' said Jennings. "We talk a lot. It shows you that it's not just a sport, but that it really is a business.'' Both players remain determined to make the grade in England and have no plans to quit. "I'm not going to quit but if it ends I'll accept it and go on with my life,'' said Jennings. "I'm not going to go down without a fight. Next time I'll make sure to keep myself in a contract. In a sense I'm not disappointed, but kind of relieved because it gives other clubs the chance to come in and get us if they want us.

"Mark has been talking with a few clubs that might be interested in having us for trials in the summer. As long as we get a second chance to prove ourselves to another club, it might just be the club that we should be at.'' Trott confirmed that he had spoken to three clubs in the Second Division and another in the Third about taking the players on. He said the fact that no fees had been placed on the players would make it easier for them to be picked up.

"I've spoken with four clubs, three quite recently,'' said Trott. "Three of them are in the same division as Rotherham with one of them even higher up in the standings. The fourth club is in the Third Division. Because of the nature of the discussions I don't want to mention the clubs.

"Hereford are struggling in the Third Division not only from a playing standpoint but also financially. Meshach and Kentoine are two of the higher-paid players at the club, which was set up by John Sillett.

"Because they won't be requesting a fee if a team comes in they won't have to pay exorbitant fees for them. That makes it a lot easier for them to move on.'' HAPPIER TIMES -- Bermuda captain Meshach Wade has a hold of an excited Kentoine Jennings after Jennings gave Bermuda a 1-0 lead with a brilliant goal against Jamaica during World Cup qualifying action last October. Their future as professionals is now in doubt with Hereford having transfer-listed them.
