For the second time in his short professional career, Andy Bishop has today linked up with third division outfit Kidderminster Harriers on a one-month loan deal. And the official site have this morning announced that we have approached Reading about taking centre forward Darius Henderson on loan. Bishop had a six-month spell at the club last season in which he made his first Football League appearances, notching five goals in a total of 30 outings.
Colin Lee says on the club website "Andy had a successful spell with the club last term so this is a good opportunity for him to go back and gain more valuable experience,"
He also added "His pre-season preparations have been blighted by an injury that has meant he hasn't played a full 90 minutes so far.
"He is more likely to do that at Kidderminster than he is here at the moment, plus he will benefit from being involved in competitive action, so the move will help improve his fitness levels and is all part of his development process in the game."

21 year old Henderson is a powerfully built and bustling front-man whose appearances for The Royals have come mainly from the substitutes bench.
With the start of the season just days away, and only Jorge Leito our only senior striking option, manager Colin Lee is keen to boost his striking options and has set his sights on the 6'1" Reading man.

The club have also announced that Saturday's opening League game of the season the local derby against West Bromwich Albion is now a complete sell-out.
