HUFC have today announced they have signed out-of-contract defender Peter Hartley from north east rivals Sunderland.

May 26th: Hartlepool Complete Peter Hartley Signing
Hartley, born in Hartlepool, becomes Chris Turner’s third acquisition of the summer and the club will now be hoping to tie up a further 3 or 4 deals in the next few days.
Dean Brill is widely tipped to join Pools, from relegated Luton Town, but Hartley is a deal that Turner has been hoping to complete for a some time now after following his progress.
