‘Thoroughly enjoyed’…

Hill has said: ‘’I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my short time at Hartlepool United working with a great set of lads and staff, and also getting to experience the famous atmosphere at the Vic.

“I wish everybody connected to the club every success this season and for the future.’’

Antony Sweeney has also had his say: “Clint has been nothing but brilliant since he came into the club.

“He obviously joined us at an unusual time following the sudden departure of Joe Parkinson but he’s been really good to me and the whole squad. He has been a great help since I took interim charge and we wish him all the best going forward.’’
