Harriers set time-frame to find new boss

Chairman Rod Brown is hoping to have a new head coach 'within the next couple of weeks' as Kidderminster Harriers face Welling United at home tomorrow.

The initial plan was to have one in place before the 3pm game at Aggborough but the chairman has stressed the need for the next appointment to be the right one for the club.

There has been substantial interest in the post, but Brown will not rush into a decision.

He said: "It is vitally important for the long-term future of the football club that we get this right, and in that sense we are in no hurry.

"We are happy that the team is in good hands in the immediate short-term as Colin Gordon and the staff have been working hard and the players have responded to that.

"But we know we need to find a permanent solution and all of our focus is on that.

"If it means taking a little longer to make the right appointment than we'd first thought, I'm sure all supporters will appreciate that."

Following a 1-1 draw with Barrow last weekend, there is room for optimism in the squad ahead of tomorrow's clash.

Welling are in fine form, though, with wins over Gateshead, Chester and Halifax Town in their last three league games.

Before those wins though, they endured a nine-game winless run in the National League which Harriers will draw inspiration upon as they search for their first win of the campaign.
