Harriers boss Wotton wants a few more signings

Kidderminster Harriers boss Paul Wotton says he is prepared to "work his way down the list" of potential transfer targets as he tries to strengthen his squad further before the start of the season.

Wotton, who replaced Adam Murray at Aggborough in late May, has sealed four new arrivals this summer - midfielders Callum Dolan, Max Brogan and Olly Tipton and striker Lewis Walker.

Following the departure of established goalkeeper Christian Dibble at the end of his contract, Wotton said the club were "very, very close" to bringing in a replacement and was "pretty sure" a deal would be done imminently.

In the meantime, the Harriers manager is working on adding more new faces in other areas.

"I would like to bring in a few more, which we're working towards," he told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"[We've] got to be patient now just choosing the right ones. We've identified who we want and if we can't get them we'll go down the list and it's an ongoing process.

"I'm happy with the business we've done so far, really happy.

"We need a couple more in because we need that bit of quality and that little bit of experience - National League experience, definitely."

Despite players including former captain Amari Morgan-Smith, Dibble, Joe Foulkes and Alex Penny all leaving Harriers at the end of last term, the bulk of last season's promotion-winning squad has remained together.

Midfielder David Davies, winger Seb Thompson and goalkeeper Josh Bishop have all signed new contracts.

With staying in the fifth tier the priority in 2026-27, Wotton said having the core of squad still together would make a difference.

"It does, because they had a fantastic season and they achieved success together, which is not easy to do in football," he said.

"So that's good, and you can see that. They're vibrant, they're big characters in the changing room as well, which is really, really important and they're good players. So it all bodes well.

"It's a big jump up from the league below, which we're all aware of, and there's some big games. It's just a good league and we're looking forward to the challenge of it."
