This is the first fixture announced by the club, with several more expected to follow.

Matthew Bates has confirmed that he is looking for up to five pre-season fixtures before the National League campaign kicks-off in August.

Last season, Pools also faced Dunston UTS, Harrogate Town, Sunderland, St Johnstone, Middlesbrough U23s and Whitley Bay during their season build-up.
