Harriers have added more height and power to their front-line with the addition of striker Richard Peniket on a long-term loan from Premier League side Fulham.

The 19 year-old is a Wales U21 International who has scored at a prolific rate for Fulham’s academy sides since joining their set-up after time at Walsall.

In excess of 6ft tall, Richard has local links, being born in Bromsgrove and having family in nearby Stourbridge.

The hit-man picked up some valuable experience last season with a loan spell at League Two side Hereford United, and is to remain a Harrier for the next few months with Harriers and Fulham having agreed a Youth loan deal that runs until January 6.

Peniket’s deal has been secured in time for him to take his place in the squad for this weekend’s trip to Barrow in the Blue Square Bet Premier.
