Bennett was a then club record buy of £30,000 from rivals Bromsgrove Rovers in January 1999 and proved a goal-scoring menace to Conference opponents in the title-winning season.

The ex-England semi-professional international signed a two-year deal at Aggborough in the summer of 2000 but was one of a number of players transfer listed earlier this year.

The former West Bromwich Albion young professional is capable of dangerous solo runs from the centre of midfield but has been mainly a substitute so far this season.

League appearances: West Bromwich Albion (96/97) 1, Harriers (00/01) 42-4.

This season: 9 games, 3 sub appearances.

Status: First-choice midfield.
