Welcome back George!

The 25-year-old, who mainly plays in a defensive centre midfield role but can also feature in the back four, is the son of our former player and Head of youth & academy, Richard Forsyth.

He started out with Wolverhampton Wanderers and then Shrewsbury Town as a schoolboy before joining the Kidderminster Harriers youth and academy set-up.

After a couple of successful seasons he signed contract terms with Kidderminster Harriers. He subsequently spent time out on loan at a variety of clubs to gain more experience, such as Halesowen Town, Yate Town, Rushall Olympic, Hednesford Town and Stratford Town.

In the summer of 2017 George signed for Gloucester City, but towards the end of August he was loaned out to Worcester City and then looking for regular first team football, he joined Worcester on a more permanent basis in October 2017. He became a key player for City and one of the first names on the team-sheet.

George signed for Stourbridge in February 2019 and made nine appearances (7 + 2 sub) for us during the remainder of that season, which saw us beaten by Alvechurch in the play-off semi-finals.

In May 2019 he opted to move to Halesowen Town where he featured regularly before suffering a broken foot that kept him side-lined for a while. He returned to action with the Yeltz for their short-lived 2020/21 season before agreeing a move to Hereford FC in December 2020.

He has been unlucky with injuries at Hereford this season, but is now back fit and looking to nail down a regular first team place.

Welcome back too to KIERAN!

Kieran is a versatile attacker who can play off the main striker or be utilised in a wide area.

He joined Alvechurch in the summer of 2018 after impressing for Wednesfield in the West Midlands Regional League. He netted 12 times on his first season at step 3 before following Ian Long to Stourbridge in the summer of 2019.

He made 17 appearances (11 + 6 sub) and scored once (a superb strike at Coalville in the FA Cup) during the first half of the season before returning to Alvechurch briefly in December 2019. A month later he moved to Rushall Olympic where he featured until the pandemic outbreak brought a halt to proceedings.

He headed back to Alvechurch for a third stint for the short-lived 2020/21 campaign before signing for National League North outfit Leamington in July 2021. He has found his opportunities limited recently though and we're pleased to bring him back into the fold to bolster our attacking options.

We wish them both well in their second spells at the Club and all being well, they'll be available for selection at Rushall tonight!
