History
Kidderminster Harriers, established in 1886, has a notable history in English football. Initially involved in athletics and rugby, the club merged with Kidderminster Olympic in 1890 under the Harriers banner. They achieved success in the Birmingham League and later the Southern League. A pioneering club, they hosted the first floodlit FA Cup games in 1951-52.
The Harriers gained prominence in non-league football, culminating in promotion to the Football League in 2000 under Jan Molby. They spent five seasons there before returning to non-league play. Recent years have seen fluctuating fortunes, including relegation to the National League North in 2016, but under the management of Russ Penn, they secured a memorable promotion in the 2022-23 season, highlighted by a strong FA Cup run.
