SUMMER signing Graham Ward created history for Kidderminster Harriers as a professional club by becoming their first permanent player to earn an international call-up.
The Republic of Ireland U-20s skipper made a late substitute appearance for his country's U-21s during Tuesday's 5-1 friendly win in Poland.
Mark Clyde and John Melligan were loan signings when they featured for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland U-21s last season.
Midfielder Ward has returned to join the Harriers squad who aim to keep up their 100 per cent start in Division Three on Saturday at home to Bury. Matt Gadsby is fit for selection after a knee injury.
Ian Britton then takes his team to rivals Cheltenham Town on Monday (3pm) which is a pay-on-the-gate game for away fans.
Kidderminster are hoping to take around 1,000 fans to Whaddon Road, a record away following in the Football League, but the number is likely to depend on Saturday's outcome.
