Hartlepool United defender Michael Raynes discusses 'massive' goal as he approaches career milestone
The veteran defender has quickly put a frustrating 2018-19 campaign behind him by playing every minute in all 18 matches for Pools so far this season. And Raynes is hoping to keep the run going as he eyes a big career milestone.
“It’s massive for me, my goal when I came in was to play every minute I could and I’ve done that so far,” said the 32-year-old.

“I think I’m approaching 500 appearances so it’s not a bad number to get to!”
Raynes is just 18 appearances away from hitting the 500 game mark – an achievement he’s set to make at Hartlepool this season if he maintains his place in the heart of the defence.
