Kidderminster Harriers boost attack with double swoop

The double swoop comes just a day after the club’s 34-goal top scorer last season, Ashley Hemmings, moved to Dagenham and Redbridge.

Sho-Silva, 30, is an experienced performer in non-league who also spent a season in the EFL with Carlisle United.

Adigun, meanwhile, is moving in the opposite direction to Hemmings having been released by Dagenham at the end of last season.

The 21-year-old is well-known to Murray, having scored six goals in 24 appearances while on loan at the new Harriers boss’ former club Eastbourne last season.

Murray said: “If I’m being totally honest, he totally changed our season. He is another young one and is an unbelievable talent in terms of his ability, and his ability to create and score goals.

“There was a lot of interest in him from the EFL and his thing was that he didn’t want to go into the EFL and be a squad player – he wanted to be playing and be given a platform. We’re giving him that opportunity. 

“It’s really strange in how it has happened with Ash Hemmings going the other way, it wasn’t planned but it has worked well in terms of being able to replace someone in that position.”

Sho-Silva, who won promotion from the National League with Sutton in 2021, spent the past two seasons at Maidenhead.

Murray said: “We wanted an established number nine. We could have gone out and took maybe a young guy from an academy. 

“But we wanted someone that had been successful, that had won promotions, that knew what the level is about.”
