is the first Pools player confirmed to have been released.

Lion-hearted and a very decent player for us. All the best for the future Tom.

Half decent but to many fitness problems.

Don't have a problem with that decision.
UTP.

The man was a warrior. Prepared to stick his head in, where most wouldn't put a foot.
Unfortunately think his legs had gone and probably the right decision. I think he would make a good player coach somewhere.

All the best for the future Parksy.

I couldn't agree more. He's been Mr 100% for the club both on and off the pitch.

Pity we hadn’t got him 10 years earlier.

Neil Byrne set to become a free agent, reckon he could do a job for us for a couple of seasons as a back up to McNally and Kuogun.

One of my favourite players since he joined us.
Heart of a lion and always gave 100%.
Wish him all the very best.
