Dave Challinor bolstered his squad during the summer transfer window and has continued to bring in further players using the free agent market.
It was the Pools boss’ first time having to navigate a transfer window as a manager so the business was never going to be perfect but every player has now had at least a small chance to make an impression.
Here are all 14 of Pools’ summer signings rated by the impact they’ve made so far…

The Australian defender hasn't been given a solid run of matches as of yet but has impressed almost every time he's been on the pitch for Pools either in the Papa John's Trophy or as an impact substitute. A solid back-up for Jamie Sterry at right wing-back. Photo: Mark Fletcher
Still looking for his first league goal for the club but did managed to come off the bench to grab a goal and an assist in the Papa John's Trophy last month. Seems like he could be a useful impact substitute but needs to offer more than just energy when on the field for Pools. Photo: FRANK REID 2019
Still yet to make his league debut for Pools but is an established League One goalkeeper in his own right and probably too good not to be playing every week in League Two. Has been solid in the two cup appearances he has made and the fact he's Hartlepool born and bred makes it an even sweeter signing. Photo: Will Matthews
Another player who had looked solid when he's featured, just hasn't featured enough. Hendrie was arguably one of Pools' top performers during the weekend draw with Exeter City. His composure on the ball and knack of keeping things simple defensively proved effective. Could potentially be a very solid acquisition. Photo: HUFC
