Lee Clark was forced to make one change ahead of tonight’s Enterprise National League fixture away to Kidderminster Harriers.

After coming off the bench to secure a clean sheet in last week’s 1-0 win against Woking, Nathan Fisher replaces the injured Max Merrick in goal, who is unavailable for six weeks after suffering a thigh tear. Adam Smith is named among the substitutes.

Vice-captain Reiss McNally starts against his former side, where he made 98 appearances before signing for Pools in the summer of 2025.

Tonight’s match comes too soon for Cam John and Corey McKeown, who continue to recover from their respective injuries. Max Kouogun remains sidelined. 

Owen Hampson has returned to full training, but the match comes too soon for the midfielder.

Meanwhile, Luke Charman has stepped up his recovery from a long-term injury by returning to running.

HUFC XI: Fisher, Hunter ©, McNally, Ilunga, Miley, Harris, Eccleston, Sheron, Nolan, Popov, Gibson.

Substitutes: Smith, Penman, Benn, Deeming, Thornton, Bondo, Hugill.
