Kidderminster Harriers have announced that midfielder David Davis has agreed a new contract which will keep him at the club as they prepare for a return to the National League.

Harriers secured promotion via the play-offs from the National League North earlier in May, beating South Shields 2-0 in the final, and preparations are being put in place under new manager Paul Wotton, who has succeeded the departed Adam Murray.

The club have now sealed the services of the experienced Davis for another year, before the new campaign begins. He played 37 times in the promotion-winning campaign and scored seven goals.

Davis, 35, is well known for his spells at Birmingham City, Shrewsbury Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he came through the academy.

Wotton said of Davis staying on: "He is a massive influence for us, both on and off the pitch. He is integral to what we are trying to achieve and this demonstrates his loyalty to Kidderminster Harriers after receiving significant offers and interest from other clubs."

Kidderminster Harriers assistant manager Stuart Watkiss and first-team coach Mario Oliveira have both left the newly-promoted National League club.

Watiss is a former Harriers boss and returned to Aggborough in October to join the coaching set-up of then boss Adam Murray.

Former Nottingham Forest and Lincoln City coach Oliveira had been with Harriers since July last year.

Their departures follow Murray's exit to become Barrow's new manager last week.

Harriers, who are back in the National League next season after winning the play-off final, are yet to announce who will replace Murray on a permanent basis.

Solihull Moors have signed striker Tobi Sho-Silva on loan for the remainder of the season from Kidderminster Harriers.

The 30-year-old forward has scored once in 15 appearances in National League North for Harriers this season and joins the Moors for the final eight games of the campaign.

Sho-Silva was part of the Sutton United side that won promotion to the English Football League (EFL) for the first time in the club's history in 2020-21 and was at Carlisle United when they won the League Two play-off final two seasons later.

"Tobi is a great character and will bring energy and a physical presence to the front line," said , externalMoors boss Chris Millington.

"He will also have an impact off the pitch due to his experience and professionalism."

Solihull, seven points clear of the relegation zone, are away to bottom club Truro City on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).
