Here, we've taken a look at 12 free agents Pools could sign in a bid to bolster their chances of sneaking into the top seven.
9. Fankaty Dabo
The 30-year-old full-back, who came through the ranks at Chelsea, made more than 100 appearances for Coventry earlier in his career but has been without a club since leaving Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers in December 2024. Photo: Alex Pantling
10. Paul Dummett
The Welsh international made 213 appearances for Newcastle at the beginning of his career and has since turned out for the likes of Gateshead, St Mirren and Wigan. While a recent spell at Carlisle ended with relegation from League Two, the 34-year-old would provide plenty of experience on the left-hand side of defence. Photo: Clive Rose

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder scored 11 goals in 76 matches during a previous spell at Victoria Park and spent the second half of last season at Morecambe, featuring 18 times as the embattled Shrimps were relegated to the National League. Photo: Mark Fletcher
12. Dylan McGeouch
The Scotsman has represented both Rangers and Celtic and was a hugely popular figure at Hibernian, where he made 119 appearances over two separate spells. More recently, the experienced attacker has turned out for the likes of Sunderland, Aberdeen, Forest Green Rovers and Carlisle. Photo: Frank Reid
