Hartlepool United are pleased to announce the loan signing of Roshaun Mathurin from Crystal Palace until January.
The tricky winger holds an impressive pedigree, having played in the youth systems at Chelsea and Spurs.
He featured in the Spurs first team during the 2022/23 pre-season campaign, before moving to Crystal Palace in August 2023.
Mathurin was a regular for Palace’s U21 side last season, racking up 38 appearances with 11 goals and 14 assists. He also made the bench in the Premier League as Palace faced Nottingham Forest in March.
Mathurin will now spend the first half of the 2024/25 campaign at The Prestige Group Stadium with Darren Sarll’s side. He will wear the number 18 shirt and be eligible for Saturday’s fixture at home to Halifax Town.
Upon joining Pools, Mathurin stated:
“I’m really pleased to join the Club and I’m buzzing to get going here. It’s a new experience for myself but one I’m really looking forward to. I’m eager to get out on the pitch and play in front of the fans – I can’t wait to excite them on a matchday.”
Pools manager Darren Sarll added:
“Firstly, with the manner in which Crystal Palace operate within their development programme, you can see why they are a leading organisation in homegrown player development. We thank them for assisting us in bringing Roshaun to Hartlepool United.
“He brings us great athleticism in wide positions that we’ve been short of since the injury to Luke Charman. His ability to dribble and create chances will be evident from the outset. He will of course need a period of acclimatisation to be optimal within our team organisation, but I’m looking forward to seeing him play. I hope we can give him a warm reception and welcome him to our Football Club – hopefully he has the best of experiences with us.”
