We are now in a position to confirm that last night Tom Thorley submitted documents that will see him return to Keys Park after spending pre-season with league rivals AFC Telford United.

The popular midfielder enjoyed a successful period with the Pitmen after signing in November 2013 as he helped the club reach the end of season play-offs, scoring in the semi-final second leg against Altrincham.

Last season saw Thorley being an essential part of Rob Smith’s side with his return set to please supporters greatly with the 25-year-old being a fans’ favourite.

We can also confirm that young Kidderminster Harriers midfielder Kennedy Digie will spend until January 2016 at Keys Park after he agreed a loan deal ahead of the start of the new campaign.
