Kidderminster Harriers' home supporters will take their first peek at the club's summer signings in their first friendly at Aggbrorough against Wolves.

Harriers play hosts for the first-time in pre-season tonight against a squad from the Championship club, just relegated from the Premier League.

Winger Ricky Shakes and Danny Pilkington will join defenders Exodus Geohaghon and Ryan Austin in a Harriers home match for the first time.

But Cheyenne Dunkley's debut must wait as he is still out with a toe injury and joins goalkeeper Danny Lewis and Kyle Storer on the sidelines.

Keith Briggs will make his second home bow after rejoining the club for a second spell, spending last season at Fleetwood after leaving the first time.

The Wolves prospects are up tonight before League One side Walsall are the visitors on Tuesday in Harriers' flagship pre-season friendlies.

Assistant boss Gary Whild said: "Each of these games will be a different test for us and that's exactly how we have tried to structure our programme.

"Wolves will be sending a youthful side that will be extremely skilful and take time on the ball, it's always good to test yourself against that.

"With respect, you would guess that Walsall will be a lot stronger for us, in terms of a physical test.

"They will come with a squad of players that will want to continue their own preparations for the season."

Harriers new home and away kits for the Blue Square Premier campaign went on sale at Aggborough today.

The new strips will be available to buy in the club shop before and after tonight's match.
