Harriers fancy Clancy for Dartford role

Kidderminster Harriers' new-boy Sean Clancy could be line to start their home game against Dartford after joining the club from Chester.

The winger has penned non-contract forms and rejoined the full-time footballing ranks after leaving the Blue Square North league leaders last week.

The former Fleetwood wide man, 25, arrives at Aggborough in a timely fashion, with fellow flankers Danny Pilkington and Marvin Johnson out injured.

Johnson has missed two games with a fractured toe, while Pilkington hurt his thigh in the warm-up at Bromley last weekend and misses out again.

That left Ricky Shakes as the only wide man available in a 'pendulum winger' role, switching from left to right in a support role behind the strikers.

Clancy's arrival will see him either go into competition with Shakes or Harriers boss Steve Burr could even use both and change formation tomorrow.

Burr said: "We have been fortunate to be able to bring Sean in and he has come in on our terms and on a deal that suits both parties.

"He is extremely hungry to try and earn something more permanent with us, so we are really looking forward to seeing how he does.

"He brings some great experience from his time at Fleetwood in this division and will be an asset."

Midfielder Kyle Storer is also back from suspension and is set to replace Callum Gittings in the centre, who picked up a knock to the groin at Bromley.
