DYLAN Kerr is in line to start his first macth for Kidderminster Harriers as they head for Southend United for tonight's Nationwide League Division Three match at Roots Hall (7.45).

The former Leeds United defender is likely to slot in at left back because of Harriers injury problems with Adie Smith (hamstring), Scott Stamps (knee), Ian Foster (hamstring) and Tim Clarke all ruled out.

Southend were today trying to extend goalkeeper Andy Woodman's loan period to enable him to face Harriers.

Woodman's loan spell from Brentford finished on Saturday, but Southend boss Alan Little is hoping to re-negotiate the deal.

Definitely out though is right wing back Martyn Booty with hamstring trouble. He will be replaced by 19-year-old Garry Cross.

Harriers (from): Brock, Clarkson, Hinton, Bennett, Horne, Ducros, Shail, Bogie, Barnett, Hadley, Bird, Webb, Pope, Kerr, Corbett, Murphy.

Southend (from): Woodman, Capleton, Cross, Searle, Roget, Wheelan, Tinkler, Maher, Connelly, Carruthers, Fitzpatrick, Houghton, Lee, Forbes, Morley, Hunter,
