Kidderminster Harriers have made two signings before Saturday's FA Cup first Round tie with Doncaster Rovers at Aggborough.

Sam Austin has signed on loan until the end of the season and young Middlesbrough striker Layton Campbell has joined on a short-time loan initially until January.

Austin, 29, left Aggborough after six seasons to join Notts County in 2023 and was part of the Magpies side that won promotion back to the EFL in his first season.

He moved on to Southend in the summer of 2025 but now re-joins a Harriers team who have slipped to 13th in the National League after failing to win any of their last eight games.

Their only victory during that time was the 2-1 FA Cup fourth qualifying round win at home to Solihull Moors which earned them Saturday's tie against League One strugglers Rovers (15:00 GMT).

Former Blackpool youth team player Campbell, 20, has been with Boro since last season after scoring 15 goals in 16 games for non-league Whitley Bay.
