KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have parted company with midfielder Richie Appleby -- and he looks set to join Conference side Forest Green Rovers.

Appleby, who had been playing for Harriers on a non-contract basis since he returned to Aggborogh in the summer, has been offered a two-year deal by the Gloucestershire side.

The move brings to an end Appleby's second stint with Kidderminster after he began his football career at Newcastle as a trainee.

The midfielder then moved to Ipswich where he spent 12 months before Jan Molby, then manager at Swansea City, signed him in August 1996.

Injury restricted his appearances at Swansea before Harriers snapped him up on loan in November 2001.
