Kidderminster goalkeeper Dean Coleman is not worried about who will be brought into Aggborough to form the new back-line in front of him next season.

Harriers will have to revamp their defence for next season, with two of the four that finished last season gone and backup Luke Jones having signed to Mansfield.

Skipper Mark Creighton and right-back Keith Lowe have joined Oxford and Hereford respectively, leaving left-back Lee Baker and Martin Riley – with the central defender yet to sign a new deal for next season.

Coleman himself is back in from the cold after last season’s No 1 Adam Bartlett joined Lowe at Hereford, and will find himself directing new traffic with at least two of his back four next season.

But the 23-year-old has put his trust in manager Mark Yates to bring the players in to give him all the safety he needs.

He said: “I am not worried about that will be in front of me next season, I know the gaffer will see that we are alright in defence. All of us have trust in who the manager will bring in.

“The understanding between goalkeeper and defenders is paramount, I agree, but whoever comes in will have pre-season and that time on the training field to develop that.

“Our assistant Neil Howarth was also a defender in his day and he will work on that with us, as he always has done.”
