KIDDERMINSTER Harriers will be tested by their former striker Lee Hughes when West Bromwich Albion visit Aggborough tomorrow for a pre-season friendly (3pm).

Hughes left Harriers to join the Baggies in a deal initially worth £380,000 in July, 1997.

After four years at The Hawthorns he moved to Coventry City in a £5m deal.

He eventually returned to Gary Megson's Albion for half the initial fee and as a result Harriers netted an additional £690,000 due to sell-on clauses.

Hughes will be aiming to stretch Harriers defence which performed well in Monday night's 1-1 draw with Premiership newcomers Leicester City at Aggborough.

Kidderminster boss Ian Britton said: "It's another good game for us and hopefully it will help bring some money into the coffers.

"It will be another tough match for us. It'll be interesting to see how the players react to the Leicester game and the hard work since."

He added: "Albion had a tough season in the Premiership but I'm sure they have emerged from that experience a better and stronger team.

"I know our fans will look forward to seeing old favourite Lee Hughes back again.

"We'd love to see him back scoring goals once again next season."

Manager Britton accepts that results in friendly matches are not particularly important.

"We are using these games to increase our fitness levels and hopefully along the way we will put together some good performances."

Harriers will be without trialist striker John Williams who suffered an ankle injury against the Foxes.

Other trialists -- Adam Willis, Narada, Craig Wilding, Graham Ward and Kyle Lightbourne -- are expected to take some part in the match.

Following tomorrow's clash, Harriers face two more pre-season games -- against Walsall at Aggborough on Wednesday (7.30pm) and against Hereford United at Edgar Street on Saturday, August 2 (3pm).

They open their Nationwide League Division Three campaign with a home clash against Mansfield Town at Aggborough on Saturday, August 9.
