CRAIG HARRISON yesterday made four signings in one day as he set about reshaping Hartlepool United.

Two weeks after his appointment, the new boss landed a new goalkeeper, a striker and two midfielders.

Following relegation from the Football League, Pools are about to start life in the National League – and all the new recruits have experience of the division.

Jake Cassidy, a 24-year-old striker, has arrived after he scored eight times for Guiseley last season in the National League.

Jack Munns, 23, an attacking midfielder, was at Cheltenham last season and was part of the Robins’ National League winning squad two seasons ago.

Luke George rejected a new deal to stay at Chester to move to Pools. He was skipper of the club last season.

And goalkeeper Scott Loach, who was with Watford for six seasons from 2006-2012 making 154 appearances, has moved after he was released by Notts County. Loach, once called into the England squad, was part of the York City side at the end of last season.

Harrison has already signed forward Cassidy once, as he picked him up for Airbus UK in the League of Wales.

He has also played for Wolves and scored 16 times for Tranmere in 2012/13 in League Two. Cassisdy has 28 goals to his name in 135 league games.

At Tranmere, he was managed by former Pools boss Ronnie Moore.

George is looking forward to his new career. The Scouser said: “It’s a massive opportunity for me and there’s no time to dwell on what happened here last season.

“The gaffer has been at TNS and based in Chester and he wants to rebuild this club and get back in the Football League – I want to be a Football League players with experience of thre National League.

“It’s a very difficult league and there’s days when it’s not going to be pretty. The gaffer likes to play his football, but at times you have to grind them out.

“Teams that do well can mix it.

“I’m a ball-winning midfielder, I like to do the dirty work which others don’t – win first balls, second balls and turn over possession. I’ll give the lads who can win games a bit more freedom.

“I’ve been captain at Chester and leadership is massive from everyone, not just down to one or two characters – you need it as a group and all pull in the right direction. I’’ve been captain at Southport and Chester.

“Everything the gaffer said has been positive, people will be hurting from last season, but you have to move on and have a positive environment. The aim has to be to move up first-time.’’
