Hartlepool United have completed the signing of former Reading midfielder Joe Gamble from Cork City.

Gamble, who has been capped by the Republic of Ireland, impressed Pools boss Chris Turner while on trial with the League One club last month.

He has now secured a move to Victoria Park and Turner is looking forward to seeing the 27-year-old in action.

"Joe's a ball-winning, passing midfield player who will give us some good experience in the squad," Turner told the club's official website.

"I've felt he is the type of player we've been lacking and we're delighted we've been able to bring him to Victoria Park.

"He's played at international level and also has some experience of the English game so I think he'll prove a good addition to the squad.

"I think he's the type of player the fans will take to - he plays with passion and that is something that supporters always like to see.

"He wears his heart on his sleeve, but he can play football, can organise in midfield and talks and communicates on the pitch."
