KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have signed midfielder Hugh McAuley from Cheltenham Town until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old is expected to make his debut in tomorrow's Division Three clash at Macclesfield Town.

McAuley joined Cheltenham in a £20,000 deal from Leek Town in 1999.

Originally a striker, he began his career as a trainee with Liverpool before moving to Northwich Victoria, Conwy United and then Leek.

Aggborough boss Ian Britton said: "I've always liked him as a player and I'm delighted he has agreed to join us until the end of the season.

"Unfortunately things didn't work out for him as well as they could have at Cheltenham and Bobby Gould didn't see him fitting in to their plans. Hopefully, their loss will be our gain."

Meanwhile, Hereford have signed Derby County 18-year-old Jordan Lambert to add to three other newcomers, Walsall striker Karl Hawley, former Bristol City striker Albano Correia and goalkeeper Mark Gayle from Solihull.
