The 21-year-old goes straight into Colin Gordon's squad for Saturday's game with Chester at Aggborough.

Kinsella, who signed a one-year deal at Villa Park last summer, is yet to make a senior appearance for the Premier League side but has been an unused substitute.

Harriers are currently bottom-but-one of the National League Premier, nine points from safety. Gordon is chief executive and also in charge of first-team affairs at Aggborough.

He said: "It's the area of the squad we haven't got cover for and we need strength in numbers, certainly with the number of games we've got.

"I have seen him four times this season and I know all about him – he has got a lot of ability. "
