"There is a good spirit within the squad and a togetherness you can see from the training ground. I can't wait to play in front of the Hartlepool fans."

Speaking on his first signing for the club, Curle said: "Theo is a player we've tried signing before. He has good experience and is someone that has become available.

"He has turned down other offers to join Hartlepool. He has a goal scoring pedigree and has worked with Colin before.

"We like his personality and his ability. He takes on information well and understands the role of a centre-forward. We need to give him time to get fit and we know he can do well."

Robinson is available for Pools’ trip to Harrogate Town.
