FOOTBALL - Kidderminster Harriers swoop for Bird as club make first summer signing

KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have made former National League North title winner Pierce Bird the club’s first summer signing.

Bird will join Harriers on July 1 subject to FA and National League approval and becomes new manager Adam Murray’s first addition as Kidderminster boss.

The 26-year-old centre-back previously won the National League North with Murray at AFC Fylde in the 2022/23 season.

Murray said: “Pierce has been with me at my last two clubs and had a great success.

“For me he is one of the best ball-playing centre backs at this level and has won the league before.

“He understands the league and will be a strong addition to the team.”




Bird also played under Murray at Eastbourne Borough last season in the National League South.

Borough missed out on the title by a single point before losing in the play-off semi-finals.


He is a former Northern Ireland under-21 international.

The defender previously played for Notts County, Eastleigh, King’s Lynn Town and a host of other clubs.
