The 26-year-old joins Pools after making 44 league appearances for Oldham last campaign, scoring six times for the Latics.

Sheron, who is also versatile across the backline, previously spent five seasons at Fleetwood Town where he gained experience in League One.

The former Liverpool youngster has also played for the likes of Walsall and St Mirren on loan, while featuring regularly for Harrogate Town in 2021/22.

He becomes Darren Sarll’s third signing of the summer, following the additions of Luke Charman and Jack Hunter.

Upon joining Pools, Sheron stated:

“I’m proud to be here. I was really keen to come here after speaking to the gaffer – the way he wants to the team to play, it suits me to a tee. I can’t wait to get started, it seems like a good place to be. The pitch and the stadium look tremendous and I’m really looking forward to the start of the season.”

Pools manager Darren Sarll added:

“Nathan‘s acquisition has been part of a lengthy process where both parties have worked extremely hard to ensure a really positive outcome. Nathan is at a key stage in his career and I believe his best season is ahead of him in a Hartlepool United shirt. He will bring combativeness and a desire to dominate the middle third of the pitch, ensuring we have the energy to enable us to regain possession and attack quickly. When you look at Nathan‘s background and the coaches he has worked for, it instantly showcases the type of resilience and character that he possesses.

“Myself and Joe Monks made Nathan a priority from the very start and it’s very promising that we are able to sign this calibre of player. His winning mentality further adds to the dressing room that is growing with these psychological attributes. The window has been slow, but it goes to show that for the players we have identified to help us succeed are very much worth the wait.”
