KIDDERMINSTER Harriers are boosted by the return of three key players for tomorrow's home Nationwide Conference clash with Doncaster Rovers (3.00).

Midfielders Shaun Cunnington and Rene Petersen are back from injury while on-loan goalkeeper Tim Clarke returns after a one-match suspension.

They will slot into a side looking for a fourth victory in five matches.

Former Aston Villa defender Phil King is expected to make his comeback for the reserves next week, but manager Jan Molby said: "He is not going to be considered for tomorrow."

But Molby appreciates it will be a tough game against a side managed by his former Everton adversary Ian Sno-din, whose players include former Everton and Blackburn striker Mike Newell.

"It will be a tough one --they are one of the teams people expected to do well this season, and they have now hit a bit of form.

"I think we will just have to be patient. They will probably come and try to sit back and hit us on the break."

Molby expects Harriers to continue their improved form. "We were slightly disa-ppointed after the Nuneaton defeat, but it was important that the defeat wasn't followed by another one.

"We went to Morecambe and continued our recent improvement and that has given us confidence again."

Molby is hopeful of concluding a deal for former Wimbledon and Coventry defender Andy Pearce early next week, although he faces competition from Ryman League Premier Division side Aldershot Town.

Meanwhile, Molby has requested a personal hearing after being charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

Molby was sent off by referee Stephen Clingo during the 2-0 win at Stevenage earlier this month after it was alleged he used threatening behaviour towards the fourth official.
