KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Jan Molby is to hold further talks with former Welsh international midfielder Barry Horne.

Newly-promoted Harriers have been tracking the 37-year-old former Everton, Southampton and Birmingham player, capped 59 times by his country, since late last season.

Molby believes that Horne, currently with Sheffield Wednesday, can be a key player as Harriers prepare for life in the Nationwide League.

He said: "I have made no secret about it. He will give us a lot of experience and can easily play another year or two. He will still be playing when he is 40.

"He has only just finished the season with Sheffield Wednesday and hopefully in the next week or so we will have a chat again."

Molby plans to finalise his retained list later this week, but he has ruled out a move for defender Lee Jarman, a Welsh under 21 international who has played for Cardiff City and Exeter City.

The 22-year-old has been linked with Harriers after being released by Exeter, but Molby said: "I know him from his Cardiff days, but he doesn't appear on the list of players I'm interested in."

Harriers' skipper Mike Marsh and Ian Foster have been called into the England semi-professional squad for their match with Wales at Llanelli tonight.

The pair will join fellow Aggborough favourites Adie Smith and Dean Bennett. Physio Jim Conway is also making the trip.

Marsh, who is favourite to land the Nationwide Conference Player of the Year award in three weeks time, received a late call while Foster, who finished as Harriers' top scorer with 17 goals, was orginally on the stand-by list but has now been promoted to the full squad.

Molby could make a comeback tonight when he returns to Anfield for Ronnie Moran's testimonial.

Liverpool face a Celtic side managed by another Merseyside favourite Kenny Dalglish and Molby is one of a number of past masters expected to play a part in the game.

Dalglish was only too delighted to take the Bhoys to Anfield and was full of praise for former boss Moran.

"Ronnie's preparation for training and matches was totally professional," said Dalglish. "The homework was done on the teams before we went into games and it was done on the players we signed -- Ronnie was all part and parcel of that.

"He is a very simple man with very simple methods which made a huge contribution to the success Liverpool had.

"His ideas and his training methods were simple and that is what made it so good. The simple things are sometimes the most difficult things."

"Ronnie really helped me. He has been there for almost 50 years as a player and coach. He served under Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Graeme Souness, Roy Evans and myself -- and we all won trophies with his help."
