Ex-England youth and schoolboy international Ducros has been used by Harriers both behind a front-two and in attack.

He was a record signing for £80,000-plus from Nuneaton Borough in July 2000 after only 12 months at the Conference side.

The diminutive Ducros, who grew up in Redditch, was previously at Coventry where he was mainly a reserve despite eight first-team appearances.

A clever and supremely talented player on the ball, he scored in the first game this season but has faded from the scene since then due to a "lack of sharpness", according to boss Jan Molby.

League appearances/goals: Coventry (96/97) 5, (97/98) 3, Har-riers (00/01) 34/2.

This season: 3 games, 4 sub appearances, 1 goal.

Status: Fringe forward.
