MANAGER Jan Molby is hoping Richie Appleby will agree to signing a permanent deal with Kidderminster Harriers.

The 26-year-old midfielder has been on loan from fellow Nationwide League Di-vision Three side Swansea City.

Appleby has made four app-earances for Harriers since his switch from Vetch Field.

Molby said: "We've made Richie an offer which he has gone away to consider with his family.

"It would mean a drop in wages for him but I know he has enjoyed his time here and hopefully it will be a positive outcome.

"He is an excellent player who is capable of showing more than we have already seen here."

Meanwhile, Kidderminster's former Worcester City defender Mark Shail has turned down the chance of a loan move to Nationwide Conference side Nuneaton Borough.
