STOURPORT Swifts boss Phil Mullen is set to run the rule over a host of triallists ahead of the new Southern League Division One Midlands season.

Swifts, who gained a reprieve at the end of the last campaign despite finishing bottom of the table, have lined up seven pre-season friendlies.

Mullen has retained much of the squad but is looking to bring in fresh faces and will use the warm-up matches to put potential signings through their paces.

Swifts begin with trips to Ledbury Town on Tuesday, July 17, Shifnal on Saturday, July 21, and Dudley on Wednesday, July 25.

Mullen's men then host Redditch United on Saturday, July 28, while Bromsgrove Rovers visit Walshes Meadow three days later.

Swifts entertain Halesowen Town on Saturday, August 4, and welcome Bewdley Town on Tuesday, August 7. All Saturday matches kick-off at 3pm with mid-week games starting at 7.30pm.
