the Pools squad for many seasons and captained the side on several occasions
during our 2020/21 promotion campaign.Nicky, made his first appearance back in November 2014 againstNewport County and has since gone on to make 294 appearances for the club.
The midfielder started his career at Hull City making 8 appearances

We spoke to Nicky Featherstone regarding his new deal:
‘I am delighted to reach this agreement with the club. It's
certainly exciting times for everyone involved and we are looking to continue
on from last season's success.I have loved every moment at Hartlepool and despite it being
such an odd season, seeing all the fans in Bristol, after sealing promotion,
just makes all us eager to start the new campaign”Dave Challinor gave his reaction:
Since joining the club, Feaths has been involved in almost
every game. He is massively important to how we play, and we are delighted to
see him sign on for the next two seasons. He has been throughout the lowest of
the lows and the highest of the highs with this club and to have him back in
the Football League is massive for us.
