LIAM NOBLE is back in the Hartlepool United squad for their National L:eague game with Fylde.

The midfielder was dumped from the squad for Saturday’s defeat at Dover, after clashing with some of his team-mates the day before.

But he was named on the bench as Pools look to end a miserable run of five successive defeats.

There’s a first start of the season for Saturday’s goalscorer Josh Hawkes, as well as a recall for Conor Newton.

POOLS: Loach; Richardson, Anderson, Magnay, Kitching; McLaughlin, Featherstone, Donaldson, Newton, Hawkes, James. Subs: Kioso, Butler, Noble, Muir, O’Neill.

FYLDE: Lynch; Francis-Angol, Byrne, Tunnicliffe, Bond, Croasdale, Rowe, Philliskirk, Burke, Toure, Haughton. Subs: Gnahoua, Hemmings, Tasdemir, Brewitt, Williams.
