CHAIRMAN Colin Youngjohns has completed a new signing at boardroom level in Wyre Forest man Steve Hodge.

Hodge, 50, has been appointed Kidderminster Harriers' new sales and marketing director.

He has been a sponsor and keen fan of the club for the past 18 years, as well as funding the initial loan signings of John Durnin and Bo Henriksen anonymously at the time.

The father-of-one, managing director of Chemi-Kal Ltd, wants to help the club make more of an impact among people and businesses in Wyre Forest's surrounding areas.

Hodge believes Harriers should take advantage of the fact they are Hereford and Worcestershire's only Football League club in places like Evesham, Pershore and Leominster.

He joins Youngjohns, vice-chairman Barry Norgrove, fellow director John Baldwin and company secretary Richard Painter on the board.
