Defenders Caines and Dolman - experienced former Football League players for Cheltenham and Northampton respectively - have penned one-year deals, while former Shrewsbury youngster Singh is on a short-term agreement.

All join after successful trial periods with the club.

The trio were paraded at Harriers' official team photo-shoot yesterday afternoon, with the club unveiling a full quota of 18 players for the season.

Former youth-team players Nathan Hayward and Zac Costello were among them, having signed one-year professional deals.

All are available for the visit of Hayes & Yeading in the Blue Square Premier on Saturday.

Manager Mark Yates said: "We are in a lot better shape we initially thought possible. Now we have a young bunch of lads with a mixture of experience, along with the lads that have stayed on from last season.

"The likes of Chris McPhee, Martin Riley and Matthew Barnes-Homer would get it in any team in our division. With young players like Kyle Hadley and Aaron Farrell coming through, there is plenty of promise.

"I don't like to make big predictions, we are not going to get carried away and shoot our mouths off, but we are quietly confident that we can have a good go this season."
