Hartlepool United are pleased to announce the signing of left-back Jack Robinson following a spell with Carlisle United.

The 23-year-old signs at the Prestige Group Stadium after spending the last two years at Carlisle, helping the Cumbrians gain promotion to League One.

Robinson started his career in the North East with Middlesbrough, playing alongside current Pools duo Dan Dodds and Sam Folarin.

He made one appearance in the Championship for Boro, while gaining National League experience on loan at Yeovil Town in 2021/22.

The following season saw Robinson join Carlisle on a temporary basis, which was later made permanent as the Blues won the League Two play-off final. During that time, he played under current Pools coach Gavin Skelton.

Robinson now joins Hartlepool on a permanent deal and will wear the number 26 shirt. He is eligible for Saturday’s fixture away to Sutton United.

On signing for Pools, Robinson stated:
“I’m delighted to be here. It’s been around a month since I first heard of Hartlepool’s interest and I’m really excited to have everything sorted.

“I spoke to Gavin [Skelton] a lot, he told me how much of a great club Hartlepool is. It’s an opportunity for me to come in and hopefully play some games, I’m looking forward to it.”

Head Coach, Anthony Limbrick, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome Jack to the Club. He’s a left-back who will provide great competition in that area of the pitch, but he’s also versatile and can play in other areas.

“He’s at a good age where he’s still young and can develop but he’s got a lot of experience, including a promotion into League One. He knows a few players already and will be able to settle in well. We’re pleased to have him onboard.”
