Mark Yates has told the official website that he expects today's loan transfer deadline to pass without incident.

Clubs in the Football League and Blue Square Premier have until 5:00pm today to register any players they wish to bring in before the 'window' slams shut until January.

Yates admitted that he has made several attempts to strengthen one area of the team, but is more than happy to continue with his current compliment of players with the likes of Scott Bevan and Simon Russell back to fitness to boost numbers.

"I've made a few phone calls throughout the week but I'm only after a player to play in one specific position," said Yates.

"I've made six attempts and so far none have come off. We'll have to see what happens between now and 5:00pm but I don't anticipate anyone coming in.

"We'll have 19 players and if everyone stays fit, that's fine."

* Harriers are due to be in reserve team action next Tuesday night at Aggborough (7.45pm). Opposition will be confirmed following the weekend's FA Trophy Third Qualifying Round ties.

* Stourport Swifts will visit Aggborough for a Worcestershire Senior Cup tie on Tuesday, December 11, barring an FA Cup replay for Harriers on the same date.
