MATTHEW Bates has made his seventh signing of the summer. 

Peter Kioso, a full back formerly with MK Dons, has signed for Hartlepool United. 

He will appear, along with the other new recruits, in tomorrow's opening pre-season friendly at Billingham Town (noon kick-off). 

After being highly-regarded at MK Dons as a trainee, he was released in May 2017 and spent time with Dunstable last season. 

Kioso joined Pools for pre-season trianing on trial on Monday and, after making an instant impression on Bates, was offered terms.
