Kidderminster Harriers will host Championship club Plymouth Argyle as part of their pre-season programme on Friday, 18 July.

Harriers will also face local sides Hereford United and Redditch, as well as playing in a tournament in Devon.

Manager Mark Yates told BBC Hereford and Worcester: "We've got some decent games coming up and we feel we'll be given a good test.

"I'm just looking forward to 1 July now and the players coming back."

Harriers will open their programme with a potentially testing match at Blue Square South side Redditch on Saturday, 12 July before entertaining League One newcomers Hereford 48 hours later.

We've got the break down in Devon which will be a fantastic chance for us to play some games and get the squad together Kidderminster manager Mark Yates

Yates feels the mini-tournament will work well as it will give a chance for team bonding, as well as providing matches against decent opposition.

"We've got the break down in Devon which will be a fantastic chance for us to play some games and get the squad together."

Should Harriers do well in these matches, they would then face further matches in the tournament before rounding off their preparations with away matches at Stafford Rangers on Tuesday, 29 July and Team Bath on Saturday, 2 August.
