Typical, he came with a bad injury record and just looks like he'll never be the same again despite still being relatively young.McMark wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2026 6:13 pm He played an amount of games that triggered a contract extension apparently. And has hardly featured since.
Pete Wild on JE;
This week saw Jack Earing return to Barrow after an injury-hit short loan spell, while goalkeeper Max Thompson has left after his one-month deal was up. It leaves Pools short in the goalkeeper department, though Max Merrick will return to the starting XI on Saturday at Boreham Wood.
Asked if there was any wiggle room to bring players in, with Jack Earing going back, Wild told BBC Tees Sport: “Sadly not, no. You get the honeymoon period, don't you, where you go and get two or three in but again, like I've said to all of you over the last few weeks, the market you're fishing in is a market of people that are not playing at their current club unless we go and pay 50, 60, 100 grand for somebody we ain't going to get anything different. “Are you going in the young loan market? I think we've got enough young boys in the building at the moment. So yeah, Jack going back doesn't really help the case but we've got to try and get more out of the people who we have in the building at the moment.”
I couldn't even really tell you what his strengths are he's not a tackler, not an attacking midfielder and when he played he didn't look terrible but didn't show enough for the ball or stand out. Certainly not a Murray type best we can hope for is maybe another loan out in a month or two, a bit like Kouyate though it'll probably be another month and he's binned off again!
