COLIN Gordon is relishing the chance to help forge a bright future for Kidderminster Harriers.

The well-respected agent, who lives in Stourbridge, has joined the club’s board of directors.

A former Reds player, who made 25 appearances during the 1992-93 season, he formed Key Sports Management and currently represents Premier League stars such as Theo Walcott and Phil Jones, as well as former England boss Steve McClaren.

Gordon’s new role at Aggborough is football development director.

He said: “I have always had a lot of time for the club and if there is anything I can do to help, then I will.

“I am good friends with the chairman, Rod Brown, and I came on board to help him out.

“It’s all about making sure Harriers has a sustainable future and will be around in 20 or 30 years.”

Lifelong Kidderminster fan Mike Morris also returns to the club’s board after a 20-year absence with responsibility for ground maintenance.

Brown was delighted with the two new members of the board, which bolsters numbers to six.

He said: “These two new additions to the board represent very exciting news for Kidderminster Harriers.

“Colin is a former Kidderminster Harriers player and a personal friend of mine and Gary Whild.

“He has a huge profile in the game through his player management company Key Sports Management - Colin knows a lot of people in the football fraternity and his contacts will be invaluable.

“He has got so much to offer in many different areas. He will assist Gary Whild in player recruitment but his main role will be helping the club’s youth development area and trying to drive the academy forward and make it even more successful than it already is."

“His appointment to the Board offers a great opportunity for Kidderminster Harriers on so many different levels and to be able to get him on board is fantastic for the club.

“Mike is a former board member and he and his family are lifelong Kidderminster Harriers supporters.

“His responsibility as director will be to govern the ground and overall stadium maintenance, an area he specialised in with his previous role before retirement.”
