Released by Aston Villa, Brock signed for Harriers in September 1997 after a short spell at Northampton Town where he failed to make an appearance.

He made his Harriers first-team debut in November of the same year and has proved himself a fine shot-stopper.

Brock's efforts were rewarded with a two-year full-time contract when Harriers were promoted and he started this season as first-choice keeper.

His early form has been impressive, proving wrong those doubters who felt a new keeper was needed in the summer.

League appearances: Harriers (2000/01) 21.

This season: 17 games.

Status: First-choice keeper.
