RICHARD Money has made his first signing as Hartlepool United manager.

Harvey Rodgers, a right-sided defender, has moved on loan from Accrington Stanley for a month.

He has trained with his new team-mates this morning and is in contention to play in tomorrow’s FA Trophy tie at Leamington.

Rodgers started his career at Hull, moving to Fleetwood after a loan spell at Accrington, before returning to Stanley in last January’s transfer window.

A knee injury has restricted his progress with the club, but is now fit and available for Pools.
