KIDDERMINSTER Harriers hope to include midfielder Ian Bogie in their squad for tomorrow's Nationwide League Division Three clash against Halifax Town at The Shay (3pm).

He is making good progress after returning to training earlier this week following a back injury.

"He should be okay," said Harriers boss Jan Molby who will again be without strikers Ian Foster and Stewart Hadley.

Foster is being dogged by hamstring and groin trouble and could face an operation if the problem does not improve soon.

Molby said: "He is struggling. The last thing we can do is obviously for him to have an operation if things don't improve. We really need to have him playing very soon to see whether he stands up to it."

Hadley, who scored both Kidderminster's goals when they beat The Shaymen 2-1 at Aggborough back in August, is likely to be out for a further couple of weeks with a hamstring injury.

Ninth-in-the-table Harriers go into tomorrow's match against improving Halifax with another chance of completing their first ever Division Three 'double' -- an opportunity they missed out on at lowly Torquay on New Year's Day when the Gulls equalised with a last-gasp goal.

Molby said: "It was a really good opportunity for us at Torquay to have got our first 'double'.

"We should have won, but I think Halifax will be difficult for us."

The Yorkshire side may be 22nd in the table but Molby said: "They have tightened up defensively since Paul Bracewell has gone there as manager.

"They have got themselves out of the trouble they were in at the bottom of the league and I think they will climb the table.

"Paul's used his contacts in the game well to sign players on loan, so I think it will be very tough for us.

"It takes a little bit of time for a new manager to stamp his authority on it but he has now.

"Torquay have been treading water all season really, but Halifax are now on the up and started to do well.

"We will go there in good spirits, though, and we are unbeaten in our last five league games with three wins and two draws."

Harriers travel to Second Division Bury in the LDV Vans Trophy second round next Wednesday, January 10.
