Harriers hand a deal to Dan Bradley
Wednesday 4th January 2012, 6:45AM GMT.
Kidderminster Harriers today ended a long pursuit by making midfielder Dan Bradley their first capture of the January transfer window.
Harriers boss Steve Burr has been tracking the former Aston Villa trainee, who was been released by the Lambs last month, for “over a season.”
Bradley had been linked to the club over the last month and has signed a contract at Aggborough until the end of the current campaign.
The 20-year-old is match fit, having spent time at Rushall Olympic after playing for Tamworth as recently as the start of last month.
A fall out with manager Marcus Law led to his departure from the Lambs Ground, after 19 appearances this season.
Most of Bradley’s first-team football has come in the Blue Square Premier and he was a regular for the Lambs last season, figuring in 47 games.
Burr has been keeping tabs on the youngster’s progress for some time and was taken aback that his club allowed him to leave.
He said: “I am very surprised Tamworth have let Dan go, but we are delighted to have him as he’s been on our radar for over a season now.
“To get him here on our terms is great for us – he’s an attacking midfield player who can play just behind the front man as well.
“That was one of the big reasons for bringing him in. He’s a player who is young, very fit and is looking forward to playing football.”
