Kidderminster Harriers have sealed their return to the National League after winning today's National League North play-off final.

Harriers beat South Shields 2-0 at the visitors' ground.

They took the lead on 35 minutes through a header from Kieren Donnelly and a Charlie Cooper strike two minutes later doubled their lead.

The second-half saw no further goals, and the result means they'll return to the division they were relegated from back at the end of the 2023/24 season.
