....an initial one-month loan from Vanarama National League North side Kidderminster Harriers.

The American defender was a summer signing at Aggborough after spending time with National League North rivals Alfreton Town last term.

He has yet to make his Harriers bow, though, and will join Redditch for some key first-team game time over the course of the next few weeks.

Smith said: “Ed is highly-rated by the coaching staff at Kidderminster, but they felt he needed some game time. At 6`3”, he will add power and strength to our squad and will add competition for places”.

Wagner follows the arrival of Sam Tye earlier on Thursday as new Reds boss Paul Smith continues to bolster his defence.

Highly-rated full-back Tye joined from Total Motion Midland League Premier Division side Highgate United, who he signed for in the summer from Lye Town.

Tye, who previously had a stint at Stourbridge, was high on Smith`s wanted list when joint boss at Highgate.
