Harriers snap up Osborne

Watford youngster Junior Osborne has joined Kidderminster on loan.

Kidderminster Harriers have added yet another player to their squad during the January transfer window, after Junior Osborne joined on a season-long loan.

Osborne arrives from Watford, and he follows in the footsteps of Francino Francis by moving to The Aggborough Stadium.

The 18-year-old brings blistering pace to The Harriers' defence, as well as a small amount of Championship experience after making two appearances for The Hornets.

Kidderminster boss Mark Yates (pictured) was overjoyed to have finally captured Osborne, having tracked the youngster for several months.

"I've been speaking to Adrian Boothroyd and the deal to bring Junior here has been simmering for some time," revealed Yates to the club website.

"We're delighted to have him here - he's an excellent defender and a tremendous athlete and it's great to have him here with us until the end of the season.

"He's very highly rated at Watford and he's a very accomplished player on the ball. Francino Francis has told me he's probably the quickest player there is at their club."

Kidderminster have also signed Jake Sedgemore from Bury.
