Java - Removing an object from an object array

I am writing a large program that involves an Object called Player. The Player definition is as follows:

public class Player
{
    public static String name;
    public static Item inventory[] = new Item[10];
    public static int items;

    /* ... */

    public void addItem(String itemName, int itemType)
    {
            if ((items + 1) <= 10) {
                    inventory[items] = new Item(itemName, itemType);
                    items++;
            }
    }

    public void removeItem(int x)
    {
            for (int i = x; i < items; i++)
                    inventory[i] = inventory[i+1];
    }
}

I am adding inventory handling now because it's much easier than adding it later, but inventory isn't going to be used until much later in development. I have no way to see if removeItem works. I modified a function I wrote called strstrip to get this... Would removeItem work? If not, why?
