Halesowen frontman departs to pursue National League opportunity
Halesowen Town striker Kieren Donnelly has left the Grove to pursue an opportunity in full-time football with an unnamed National League club.
Donnelly spent two-and-a-half years with the Yeltz, scoring 50 goals in over 100 appearances for the club.
Boss Russ Penn said: "Kieren has been a fantastic servant to the club. He always wears his heart on his sleeve, and his desire to play full-time further up the pyramid is something as a club we should be really proud of.
"We all wish him the best and look forward to seeing him back in the future."
Midfielder Josh Smile has also agreed to remain at Halesowen for the 2025-26 season.
Hednesford Town have completed the signing of striker Jonny Edwards from Kettering Town for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old scored 18 goals across all competitions last term, finishing 2024/25 as Kettering's leading scorer.
Kidderminster Harriers have confirmed the departures of Reiss McNally and Luke Summerfield.
Centre-back McNally made 98 appearances, scoring six goals, during his two-and-a-half year stay at Aggborough, and has joined Hartlepool United in the National League.
37-year-old Summerfield joined Kidderminster last summer, but left the club having made just nine appearances, after his season was cut short by a broken leg in September 2024.
Meanwhile, Stourbridge have completed the signing of midfielder Matt Harland from Stourport Swifts.
Harland, who came through the youth ranks at Coventry City, has committed himself to the Glassboys for the forthcoming campaign.
Rushall Olympic have also made a new addition with the arrival of midfielder Aurio Teixeira from Redditch United.
Former West Brom academy product Teixeira previously worked with Pics boss Ian Long at Alvechurch, and was part of the team that famously reached the FA Cup second round in 2023.
"Aurio came to me at Alvechurch and was a major part of a very successful team," Long commented.
"He really shone for us in the big games and deserved his chance at Step 2 level. He's a Kante-type player in that he knows how to win the ball and use it effectively."
Danny King has made the move in the opposite direction after leaving Rushall to re-join Redditch on a one-year deal.
Elsewhere, Lye Town have been busy on the transfer front with the signings of Matt Horton, Brad Ward and Luke Sidaway.
