Kidderminster manager Mark Yates expects his side’s stiffest test yet as Premier League Wolves come to Aggborough for a marquee friendly.

Mick McCarthy’s men are expected to field the likes of transfer-listed trio Neill Collins, Jason Shackell and Darren Ward tomorrow (3pm), while Mark Little is also in the squad.

That as a back-four could spell trouble for Harriers attackers, with Shackell alone a £1million defender and all four boasting significant Championship experience.

But former Molineux youngster Matthew Barnes-Homer will fancy that challenge, while at the back another player let go from Wolves – defender Martin Riley – will be keen to show his boyhood club what they are missing.

The visitors are expected to bring a young squad to supplement those stars, but Yates knows his team will have to wary of any player wearing the gold and black come kick off.

The Harriers boss said: “The players that they are building in that squad are brilliant, right down to the youngsters, so whatever team they bring to us tomorrow will be very strong.

“I know it will be a decent side, so it’s likely to be a very different test for our boys.

“They will bring a lot of their fans down to Aggborough, hopefully we will have a fairly big home crowd of our own so it should create a really good atmosphere.

“I would like to thank everyone at Wolves that has made this friendly possible, it’s quite a little coup for us.”
