“It’s a pleasure to sign for the club and I’m very excited to get started. I’m happy I’m here now.”

Pemberton said Butterfield is someone who has “massive potential.”

He explained: “He’s quite dynamic, he can run, he’s got pace, he’s got energy and technically he’s good. He’s quite laid-back and not a lot fazes him. I want a certain dynamic to the group and he’ll certainly enhance what we’re trying to achieve.”

Butterfield has been a regular for Kidderminster in the last two seasons, making 49 appearances and scoring three times.

Announcing his departure, Harriers boss Russ Penn, said: “Milan is a talented player and we’re proud of the role we’ve played in developing him as a player.

“It became clear quite early in the summer that Milan was destined to move on to a new challenge and we wish him well in that and his future career.”

And on the compensation fee, Harriers CEO Neil Male, said: “We were never about to stand in Milan’s way and it’s pleasing for us as a club that another player is moving to play in a higher division.”
