DUDLEY Heathens are looking for a temporary replacement for Ben Taylor who suffered ligament damage to his wrist in their opening night defeat by the USA Dream Team.

Taylor crashed heavily early in the meeting and will be out for a month. The club are hoping to have someone in place for their first National League clash with Buxton at Wolves on Tuesday.

Boss Will Pottinger said: “With Adam McKinna already ruled out it was a massive blow to us. It seems the old Cradley injury tradition has followed us to Dudley and we’re actively searching for a replacement for Ben.”
