Kidderminster Harriers have allowed winger Kyle Hadley to join Harrogate on loan - as two midfielders emerged as a doubt for the game at Kettering.

Hadley, who has made just one appearance as a substitute this season, will spend the next three months in the Blue Square North with the North Yorkshire club.

Back at Aggborough, Jack Byrne and Callum Gittings are struggling with groin and Achilles injuries respectively for tomorrow's game, while John Finnigan is still nowhere near making his first appearance of the season after his long-standing calf problem flared up again.

Harriers also have doubts over brothers Mike and Marc Williams, after Mike was forced to pull out of his last game for Wales' semi-professional side at late notice in midweek with a hip strain.

His younger sibling Marc missed training on Thursday with a knock.

But defender Ollie Thorne could return to the squad after two games out with a thigh injury, although Mark Albrighton is likely to continue at the back after impressing in his place.

Manager Steve Burr was today gearing up his players to go again after returning from his assistant coach's role with the England semi-professional team on Wednesday night, against a Kettering team rejuvenated by three wins in three under new boss Marcus Law.

However, Burr's men have also won their last two games.

He said: "We are two points off the play-offs and want to keep pushing on, we have shown a lot of improvement and confidence is high.

"But this league is tough and there are no easy games at all, at Kettering it's going to be tough and we know what to expect.

"However, we are in a good position and will go there looking to get another three points."
