IAN Mitchell is set to play the second half of the season with Studley BKL after playing a part in last night's 3-1 win at Oldbury.

Mitchell played in right midfield for the Bees hours after being freed by Redditch and created the third after a one-two with leading scorer Craig Pountney.

"I spoke to my brother and Mark Chambers after the match and I'm probably going to be here for the rest of the season," said the former Solihull midfielder.

"It was just great to be playing again."

And Mitch is set for a reunion with former Reds management duo Rob Smith and Larry Chambers when Willenhall visit the Beehive on Saturday (ko 3pm).

Smith has already recruited former Reds Neil Beagan and Mark Creighton for the Midland Alliance strugglers.
