Albrighton made 30 appearances for Kidderminster last season

Nuneaton Town have added defensive duo Mark Albrighton and Graham Ward to their squad for next season.

Albrighton, 35, joins Boro from Kidderminster Harriers after one year at Aggborough.

The experienced Nuneaton-born stopper was part of the Stevenage side promoted to League Two in 2009-10.

Ward, 28, who started his career at Wolves, joins from Blue Square Bet North rivals Worcester City where he was skipper.

Meanwhile Gareth Dean and Adam Walker have joined James Armson and Eddie Nisevic in agreeing to extend their current contracts at Liberty Way.

But the club have confirmed that defender and current leader in the player of the year poll Stuart Pierpoint has been released and is a free agent.

"It's football," said Pierpoint. "There is no one more gutted than me. It is a fantastic club and I feel privileged to have pulled on the shirt and I will hold very good memories forever."
