Ian Herring (born 14 February 1984) is an English footballer, who plays as a midfielder. He is currently with Conference South side Eastleigh.
Herring made his debut for Swindon Town on 20 April 2002, at home to Wycombe Wanderers in the 1–1 draw coming on as a substitute in the 89th minute replacing Paul McAreavey in the last game of the 2001–02 season.[1][2]
He joined Salisbury City from Chippenham Town in August 2007 to pursue full-time football.[3] In 2009, he was released by Salisbury City who he spent three-years as a player at the club. In July, Herring joined Conference North team Northwich Victoria. Herring left Northwich at the end of the season.
Herring signed for Conference National side Forest Green Rovers in June 2010.
In February 2011 Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson expressed an interest in taking Herring back to his home club after some impressive performances at the heart of midfield for Forest Green Rovers.
Herring joined Conference South side Eastleigh on loan for a month in February 2011. The move was then made permanent in March 2011.[4][5]
