The former Walsall central defender, Paul Downing, signed for the Harriers in mid June 2024 and became Phil Browns first signing of that pre-season.

Starting his career with West Bromwich Albion he spent three years there without making an appearance but going out on loan a number of times until his transfer to the Saddlers in August 2012.

From there he joined up with MK Dons, Blackburn Rovers and Portsmouth permanently before ending up at Hereford FC last season. Just before joining them he actually played in a pre-season friendly game for us at AFC Telford Utd but wasn’t seen again.

He’s now with us until the end of this coming season.
