Matty signed professional terms for Pools after proving himself a prolific striker at both Youth and Reserve team levels during his scholarship period with the Club.

In 2006/2007 he blasted home 27 goals for the Youths and then bettered that last term with 29 despite missing the first part of the season through injury. He also weighed in with 10 goals for the Reserves in just 18 appearances, including a hat-trick on the same day he agreed terms on a pro deal.

A youngster with pace to burn, Tymon is also competitive in the air and ruthless in the penalty area and he'll be hoping the goals keep coming as he homes in on a place in the First Team.
