League Two transfer round-up: Hartlepool United's rivals Sutton United strengthen with signing of former Crawley Town and Notts County winger

Tuesday’s biggest move saw newly promoted Sutton United strike a deal with Enzio Boldewijn following his release from National League side Notts County.

The 28-year-old Dutch winger had spent the past three seasons at Meadow Lane after joining for a reported six-figure fee in 2018. He went on to score 21 goals in 123 games before the club announced that they would not be renewing his contract when they published their retained list last month.

Boldewijn has previous experience in League Two with both The Magpies and Crawley Town, where current Sutton boss Matt Gray worked alongside him as assistant manager.

"He was excellent when I was at Crawley and also has done well over the last three seasons at Notts County, and he's an important addition to our attacking options," Gray told the club website.

Hartlepool United are yet to confirm any new signings or contracts since securing promotion back to the EFL via the play-offs last month.

But they do have some important cup dates and kick-off times confirmed for the new season.

Pools will host Crewe Alexandra in the Carabao Cup first round at Victoria Park on Tuesday, August 10 (7pm kick-off).

The Papa John’s Trophy group stage will also see Pools travel to Carlisle United on Tuesday, August 31 (7pm kick-off). They then host Morecambe on Tuesday, October 5 (7pm kick-off) and Everton Under-21s on Tuesday, November 2 (7pm kick-off).
