FORMER youth teamer Michael Mc-Grath has penned a one-year professional deal at Kidderminster Harriers.

McGrath, 20, is the first to sign out of five players offered new contracts by manager Mark Yates at the end of the season and he revealed his determination to take the big chance.

The midfielder has also played for Bromsgrove and Redditch.

McGrath said: "My ambition is to play at as high a level as I can and hopefully next season we can push on and do well."

Michael Blackwood, Simon Russell, Luke Reynolds and Jonny Harkness are mulling over contract offers to join Gavin Hurren, Jake Sedgmore, Russ Penn and now McGrath at the club next season.
