and live on Freeview channel 276
Liddle has been a long-time servant to Pools making over 350 appearances across two spells with the club from 2006.
The defender has earned two promotions during his time at the Suit Direct Stadium including helping the club make its return to the Football League 12 months ago in the play-off final at Bristol against Torquay United.

Hide AdLiddle went on to feature regularly this season under both Dave Challinor and Graeme Lee but, despite having been offered a new deal to remain with the club next season under new boss Paul Hartley, the 35-year-old has made the decision to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the month.
And Pools supporters have been reacting to the news of Liddle’s exit online.
