KIDDERMINSTER Harriers striker Drewe Broughton will have plenty of time next month ponder on how he can clean up his grim disciplinary record.

The 24-year-old starts a four-match ban tomorrow when Harriers visit Bury for a Nationwide League Division Three clash.

And that means he'll not be available until January 25, when Bury visit Aggborough for the return match.

Bustling Broughton's lengthy absence is the price he is paying for his aggressive style of play which has led to him being given his marching orders twice this season and receiving nine yellow cards.

The former Norwich City and Peterborough United front-runner was first sent off this term in Harriers' 3-1 league defeat against Rushden & Diamonds at Nene Park on August 17.

His latest dismissal came in the recent 2-1 reversal against York City at Aggborough which forces him to miss the forthcoming games with Bury tomorrow, Exeter City on New Year's Day, Rushden & Diamonds on January 11 and Darlington seven days later.

Aggborough boss Ian Britton has now told Broughton to clean up his act as Harriers small squad cannot cope with having players unnecessarily on the sidelines.

Britton said: "I've told Drewe it cannot continue. I know his game is about aggression and putting players under pressure. I don't want him to lose that, but he has got to learn to curb it in certain areas."

Kidderminster, meanwhile, have received permission from Wolves to keep defender Kenny Coleman and midfielder John Melligan until the end of the season.

Britton said: "It is in the best interests of Wolves and the two lads that they keep playing as much competitive football as possible.

"That will only improve their game and hopefully we'll reap the short-term benefits of that."

Harriers will also be keeping striker Andy Bishop for the rest of the campaign.

He is on loan from Walsall and, like Melligan and Coleman, has been producing impressive performances.
