Liam Donnelly has joined Hartlepool after impressing while on trial at the Northern Gas and Power Stadium.

The 20-year-old featured for Pools in a number of pre-season friendlies this summer following his departure from Fulham and has now signed a permanent contract with the Sky Bet League Two club.

Boss Craig Hignett told the club's official website: "He's a competitive lad who can play in a variety of positions so that versatility was vital and he really impressed us during the games he played and in training.
