League Two strugglers Hereford United have bolstered their firepower by bringing back teenage Birmingham City striker Jake Jervis on a month's loan.

The 6ft 3in 19-year-old finished last season on loan with the Bulls, hitting two goals in five starts.

And he has been out on loan again this season, spending the first half of the campaign with Notts County, a level higher in League One.

But he has not found the net in 14 appearances, mostly from the bench.

Jervis originally signed for Notts until 4 January, and there was an option to extend his stay at Meadow Lane until the end of the season.

But Notts chose to send him back, allowing Blues to loan him out again.

He rejoins a Hereford side now brimming with confidence after going unbeaten since the turn of the year.

The Bulls are now off the bottom of the league, only a point from safety, and into the fourth round of the FA Cup next Saturday, after winning their last four matches.

Jervis has made just one substitute appearance for Blues, playing the final 11 minutes in last season's 2-1 FA Cup win at Everton.
