Blue Square Bet Premeir club Kidderminster Harriers have continued the summer re-shaping of their squad with the acquisition of experienced former Sheffield United striker Lee Morris.
The 30-year-old front man's services have changed hands for well in excess of £3m over the course of his career, but for Harriers fans none of his accomplishments will be bigger than his Conference Premier title win with Burton Albion just two terms ago.
With know-how and a decent scoring record in both League and non-League football, the Blackpool-born player will be a big asset to Steve Burr's side ahead of the new season that gets underway on August 14th.
Morris began his career with Sheffield United, rising through the youth ranks before making the breakthrough to the first team, where his exploits alerted the attentions of Derby County who shelled out £3m for his signature in 1999.
He was a regular for the Rams in his five years at the club, his departure coming in 2004 when Leicester City snapped him up for £130,000 after an initial loan spell.
Injury cut short his time at the Foxes, but goals for the likes of Yeovil and Burton kept his career on track, Morris signing for Hereford United last summer, making a dozen appearances there before heading out on loan to Mansfield Town and Forest Green Rovers for respective loan spells, scoring a collective three goals in sixteen games in his return to non-League circles.
He has spent this summer on trial at npower League Two giants Bradford City, finding the back of the net for the Bantams in pre-season action before cutting short his trial there to ink a one-year deal at Aggborough.
Burr said: "Lee has had one or two injury problems, as have most players who are around his age.
"But this can be a fresh start for him. It might not have worked out for him at Hereford last season but it goes without saying he is someone who knows where the net is.
"He's gone for some big money during his career and he will bring some real experience to the side - as well as some goals."
