PAUL Webb believes he can still realise his burning ambition of playing for Kidderminster Harriers in the Football League.

"It's something I've always wanted to do," said the Aggborough skipper who made his debut for Harriers in August, 1994, following a move from Bromsgrove Rovers.

Since then he has made nearly 250 first team appearances and is again relishing the challenge of trying to steer Harriers to their goal of promotion from the Nationwide Conference.

"I certainly feel this is the best chance I've possibly had," said Webb. After starting the season with three successive defeats, manager Jan Molby has built a side which is handily placed for a title tilt.

"To play in the League would be the pinnacle of my career. It's something I've felt over the years I could have done. Certainly with the teams I have played in I've felt we were good enough to be promoted. Unfortunately it's not happened for me yet," said Webb.

This season, however, he firmly believes Molby and his assistant Gary Barnett have fashioned a squad capable of finishing on top of the pile.

"There's no reason why we shouldn't be title contenders. We had a bad start to the season but the gaffer, to be fair, has brought some very good players in. certainly our current league form is very good and there's no reason why we shouldn't be challenging a the end."

Webb's promotion ambition has been boosted by the way Molby and Barnett have set about their task of trying to produce a side capable of title glory.

"You can't help being impressed. It's a lot different to what I'm used to, but it's been very good. I enjoy everything about it. The gaffer and Gary are superb and it can only be good for the club.

"I think things have happened a lot quicker than we probably expected it to, especially after the first three results. But we are certainly enjoying ourselves now and I think that's shown on the pitch."

Webb is also impressed with the varied training programme introduced by Molby and Barnett.

"I had a lot of respect for Graham Allner in the years I worked with him here. He was very religious in the things he did and he stuck to those things, but the gaffer changes it a lot.

"Every training session is different and geared up to way we want to play in the next match and a lot of those things come through into the games.

"Obviously, supporters don't see what goes on behind the scenes, but I can assure them we work hard to what we want to do on the pitch and hopefully they see some of the results on a Saturday."
