Former Hartlepool United loan signing joins League Two club
A former Hartlepool United goalkeeper has joined League Two club Grimsby Town on loan.
Former Hartlepool United loan star Harvey Cartwright has been handed another chance to impress in the EFL after joining League Two side Grimsby Town on a season-long loan deal.
The Hull City goalkeeper joined Pools on loan last summer and kept seven clean sheets in 13 appearances under former manager Simon Grayson before a serious thigh injury suffered in a defeat against National League rivals Carlisle United brought a premature end to his time at Victoria Park.

Speaking after the game, Grayson said: "It's going to be a big blow for us because he's been outstanding. We're all gutted for him, it looks like he's just tweaked his thigh. Adam (Smith) came in. He didn't have loads to do if I'm being honest, he had a couple of saves to make but he wasn't being peppered with things because we took the game to Carlisle. It was disappointing to lose Harvey.” After returning to Hull, Cartwright penned a new contract and he will now look to make an impact after joining Grimsby on loan for the new campaign.
After agreeing to re-join the club where he spent time on loan during the 2023/24 season, he told The Mariners website: “I’m absolutely delighted to be back here; it means a lot more to me being a Town fan growing up. I remember coming to Blundell Park as a young lad and dreaming of playing in goal, so this is really special.”
