I obviously spent twelve seasons here and I played with Boydy (Adam Boyd) here as well so I know him well. I'm looking forward to working with the young lads and hopefully get involved with some first team coaching in the future".

Experienced and brilliant mental and techinical stats for this league. May only be with us a season but think he'll be an asset. His versatility is nice too.
Needs to improve on a few aspects of his game but overall a solid winger for this league.
One for the future and he's been given number 1 even though he's a striker. #Edgy
A Back up for the Finnish god. Good player to bring off the bench.
Not paying any of his wages- on loan for the season.
Good rotation player on loan for the season.

I hope I haven't messed the chemistry up by bringing so many players in! Amond is an interesting one, he's a player in real life who is doing well so thought I'd bring him in. His composure is '5' which is poor but hopefully he can do well for me. Finished top scorer in the Conference last season. Gnanduillet was a replacement for Jake Hyde who we had on loan last season and will be a good player to bring off the bench. Devitt is another one who has started off this season on the bench but he's definitely a player I want to fit into the starting line up.
And thanks for the comment again Dan

League Two side Hartlepool crashed out of the Capital One Cup after they lost to League One side Sheffield United on penalties. Hartlepool beat Premier League side Sunderland in the competition last season but have now failed to progress at the first time of asking.
Hartlepool were the better side in the first half and went in ahead thanks to Rakish Bingham's first goal of the season. The right winger who has started this season in great form tapped in after Matthew Barnes-Homer's effort had hit the post. Hartlepool thought they had managed a brilliant victory however Chris Basham headed in in injury time to take the game to extra time. Extra time found no winner and unfortunately for Hartlepool Matthew Barnes-Homer's penalty was saved to send Sheffield United through. Hartlepool travel to Northampton next in the league.

Hartlepool Summer signing Matthew Barnes-Homer scored his first ever Football League goal on his debut to ensure his side beat Accrington Stanley. Hartlepool have made a whole host of signings over the Summer, including Barnes-Homer from the Non-League who scored a great poacher's effort on his debut.
Barnes-Homer, 30, has had to wait a long time to get his chance in the Football League and despite bagging twelve goals in the Conference last season for Aldershot, it was not enough to keep them in the league. Barnes-Homer was expected to stay with The Shots but Hartlepool manager took a punt on the journeyman striker and on this performance, it was definitely worth it. The only goal of the game came when Rakish Bingham header the ball down to Barnes-Homer who fantastically smashed the ball into the roof of the net. Hartlepool are in the Capital One Cup in their next match as they host League One side Sheffield United.

Peter Smith, the chairman of the Hartlepool Supporters Trust has expressed his disappointment with the club's signing of former Blackpool striker Nile Ranger. Ranger has signed a two-year deal at the club after being released from League One side Blackpool.
"Last season was such a great season for us where we came so close to promotion but all that positive energy has left the club after the signing of Nile Ranger. He's not a player that we want at the club, we need our players to be role models and Nile Ranger is certainly not that. At every club he was been at he's been a nightmare. Adam Boyd has done a great job at the club but we are really not happy with this decision. We have given him a two-year deal which is stupid and I hope the club don't regret this move." Smith said. Hartlepool have refused to comment on the situation.

Troubled striker Nile Ranger has signed for League Two side Hartlepool on a free transfer from League One side Blackpool. Ranger only made four appearances last season for Blackpool and was fined on numerous occasions for missing training. Ranger, 25, has had disciplinary problems at all of his previous clubs.
Striker Nile Ranger becomes Hartlepool's fourteenth signing in an already eventful transfer window for Adam Boyd's Hartlepool side. Adam Boyd stated that he understands the risk attached to Ranger but believes that Ranger can be a hit at the club if he can sort out his attitude: "When a player of Nile Ranger's quality becomes available there was no way I wasn't going to move for him. It's his last chance really as he's been in trouble at every club he's been at so it's obviously a risk but one I feel will be worth it. He was playing in the Premier League a few years back and I'm really happy to have brought him to the club. We need to get behind the lad and leave the past in the past."

I can't wait to start playing in a better league and with Hartlepool all the best in the future".
