and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Keith Curle has already been active in free agency with the arrival of 38-year-old striker Leon Clarke, who came on for his Hartlepool debut in the 2-2 draw with AFC Wimbledon, but admits there could be further additions down the line when he and his staff are able to analyse a potential new recruit in more detail.
“We’re still looking,” said Curle.
“There’s still players out there that have decided to come out of contract at their club so they are available and the market changes again.”

“Friday’s are going to be a prep day, Monday’s are going to be prep days for the game [on Tuesday], players have a day off on the Wednesday. Physically I can look at somebody but then they’d probably have one day of training on a Thursday.
“Leave that until you get a free week when you can potentially get somebody in on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to have a look and make a decision.
“But I know there are still some players out there who could potentially offer added skill sets to us.”
