Kidderminster Harriers sign Josh O'Keefe - as Lee Fowler exits
Kidderminster Harriers today secured a deadline day deal to sign Josh O'Keefe from Hereford – as Lee Fowler went through the Aggborough exit door.
Fowler was the most high-profile of three departures as new boss Andy Thorn reshapes his squad, with fellow midfielder's Dior Angus and James Dance also departing. All three were summer signings by former boss Steve Burr.
Former Republic of Ireland U21 International O'Keefe has arrived on an 18-month contract having spent the last season and a half with the Bulls, pushing on from midfield with a fantastic scoring rate.

A former Blackburn Rovers youngster, Josh featured for Walsall, Lincoln and Southport before linking up with United prior to the start of last season.
Last season he was the team's second-top goal scorer with 12 strikes from 30 starts with the Edgar Street club, along with some key FA Cup goals too.
He's continued to be a huge driving force for them this season, and two of his three league goals this time around have come against Harriers, including their effort in the 1-1 draw between the two teams on Tuesday night.
The two clubs have agreed an incentives-based deal for the player to join Harriers immediately and O'Keefe goes straight into the squad for Saturday's league trip to Gateshead.
