John Askey recently issued a statement to supporters insisting the club are in talks with a number of players who are out of contract as we head into the important summer months.
Pools are yet to confirm any new arrivals while there remain one or two contract issues to iron out.
But Hartlepool are not the only club in next season’s National League yet to make any moves following the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
Here we look at the activity of all 24 clubs in the 2023-24 National League so far:
