'Like a gazelle' - Hartlepool United youngster praised after securing latest loan move
Hartlepool United youngster Campbell Darcy has joined National League North club Spennymoor Town on loan until January.
Former Hartlepool United midfielder Tommy Miller believes there is ‘more to come’ from Pools youngster Campbell Darcy after he impressed on his debut for loan club Spennymoor Town.
Miller was quick to snap up the versatile full-back after former Pools defender Louis Stephenson suffered a serious injury in his side’s pre-season friendly with Northern League club Bishop Auckland last week. Darcy was handed an immediate debut just hours after officially joining the National League North club until January as they faced a Newcastle United Under-21s side in their penultimate pre-season friendly on Thursday night.

Tasked with going head-to-head with South Korean youngster Seung-Soo Park and highly-rated winger Trevan Sanusi, Darcy stuck to his task throughout the game and will hope for more of the same when the Moors entertain Gateshead in a testimonial for long-serving midfielder Rob Ramshaw on Saturday afternoon.
Darcy will go into that game on the back of receiving strong praise from Miller as he described the Pools full-back as ‘like a gazelle’ after watching his debut for his side.
He told The Mail: “I thought he was excellent. He trained with us the other night and I’ve obviously seen him play many times and I know what he’s capable of doing. He has huge potential, he’s like a gazelle, he’s so athletic, he gets up and down the pitch and I know there is more to come from him during his time at the club and beyond.”
