Kidderminster Harriers News

RIP Aaron 😥 It is with profound sadness that we share the news that grassroots football has lost another young member of its family. Aaron Mills tragically passed away from meningitis on 3rd January, far too soon. Kidderminster Lions, Wolverley FC and Kidderminster Harriers are coming together to celebrate the life of a truly special young man. Aaron’s football journey began as a little boy at soccer school with Kidderminster Lions, where his love for the game was clear from the very start. He progressed through the club to Under 16s, supported by his teammates, coaches Dave and Sam, and proudly by his dad, Tony. Aaron later went on to coach at another local club, where he continued to give back to the game, inspiring every young player he came into contact with. Known for his cheeky smile and fondly nicknamed “Asbo,” Aaron brought laughter, energy and kindness wherever he went. He will be missed beyond words by all who knew him. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his mum Deniz, dad Tony, sister Casey, and all of Aaron’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. As a mark of respect, Kidderminster Lions will hold a minute’s applause before all games this weekend. In addition, at Kidderminster Harriers’ match against Worksop Town, kicking off at 3pm at Aggborough Stadium on 18th January, a minute’s applause will take place in the 18th minute — for a very special 18-year-old lad taken far too soon. If you are local, we warmly invite you to come along and help us celebrate Aaron’s life, his love of football, and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. 🪽💙❤️⚽️
