Pacy Foster was top scorer during the Conference-winning season and appears to have overcome the injury problems that have plagued him as a professional over the years.

An England schoolboy and later semi-pro international, he was released by Liverpool after being a reserve player and joined Hereford.

The competitive striker ended up with Barrow and then signed for Harriers in July 1999 on a free transfer.

Converted to a wide player, Foster impressed and scored regularly when restored to his front-man role.

But hamstring and groin injuries blitzed his 2000/01 season before he hit back with eight goals from the wing in the last campaign.

League appearances/goals: Hereford (96/97) 19, Harriers (00/01) 10/2, (01/02) 33/8.

This season: 9 games, 19 substitute appearances, 1 goal.

Status: First-choice right midfield.

Average Shuttle rating: 6.1
