Hartlepool United complete signing of former Aston Villa player Ebby Nelson-Addy

The 22-year-old has been on trial at Pools for the past couple of weeks and boss Ronnie Moore has been keen to get him into the club.

A deal has now been struck for the winger from Conference North side Brackley Town.

Nelson-Addy has featured for Pools’ reserves since joining on trial.

Last month, Moore told SportMail: “I think he’s got a chance, can play up top or midfield with pace and full-time training for him can help.

“We may take him in and see if we can develop him as there’s plenty to work with.”

He will wear the number 15 shirt, once clearance comes form the Football League.
