    Hartlepool United have signed defender Max Clark on a deal running until January.

    Clark, 30, was a free agent after leaving Gillingham, where he had played more than 100 games, in the summer.

    His career has taken him around the EFL as well as spending almost three years in the Netherlands with Vitesse Arnhem.

    He is the second player signed by head coach Pete Wild after midfielder Jack Earing and is available for Saturday's trip to Forest Green Rovers (17:30 BST).

    Hartlepool United have signed Barrow midfielder Jack Earing on an initial short-term loan.

    Earing, 27, will be with the Pools for at least one month working under head coach Pete Wild, as he did earlier in his career at Halifax Town.

    The midfielder joined Barrow from Walsall in the summer of 2025 and played 32 times last season, but he has not featured at all for the Bluebirds in the National League this campaign.

    We're back with a bang after the international break as Middlesbrough mark their 150th anniversary with the visit of Wolves to the Riverside (15:00 BST).

    Going into the weekend Boro sit third, a point ahead of Wolves, who have played one game fewer.

    Both sides have lost just once in the Championship this season, and, depending on West Ham's result on Friday night and Swansea's on Saturday lunchtime, could be in position to take over at the top of the table with a win on Teesside.

    • This is the first league meeting between Middlesbrough and Wolves since the 2017-18 season, when Wolves won both games (1-0 home, 2-1 away) on their way to winning the Championship title.

    • Wolves are looking to win three consecutive league games against Middlesbrough for the first time.

    • Middlesbrough are unbeaten in six Championship games (W3 D3), last enjoying a longer unbeaten run in their first eight games last season under Rob Edwards.

    • Wolverhampton Wanderers have won four of their past six league games (D1 L1), more than in their previous 43 combined (W3 D13 L27). They are looking to keep three clean sheets in a row for the first time since January 2022, while they last won three in a row without conceding in June 2020.

    • Only one player has made more dribbles in the Championship this season than Wolves' Mateus Mane (32). It's the most per 90 minutes (5.8) by a Wolves player in a league season since Adama Traore in 2022-23 (6.1).

  16. Angela Lloyd smiles at the camera. She is sitting in her wheelchair and is wearing blue silk pyjamas and appears to be in her living room with floral curtains and various knick-knacks on shelves behind her.

  17. 'He's lucky... he got off very lightly'

    Spygate: Eckert free to continue as Southampton manager

    In a bonus episode of the BBC's Football Daily podcast, John Bennett is joined by BBC Radio Solent's Adam Blackmore and 72+ EFL podcast host and former Reading and Watford winger Jobi McAnuff to react to the Spygate verdict.

    An FA regulatory commission has handed Southampton boss Tonda Eckert a suspended six-week ban for his involvement in the Spygate scandal, but do the panel think is it a fair outcome?

    Blackmore said: "I thought he'd get maybe three to five games per [FA] charge and it would be a difficult decision for the club - do we wait for him to come back, do we move on?

    "I think he's lucky, but I am pleased it is all over and it looks like they can move on. I think he's paid a fairly hefty price, even if it hasn't come in the dugout in the next few weeks."

    Eckert was fined £28,000 for authorising three instances of spying on opponents before games - including last season's Championship play-off semi-final against Middlesbrough.

    Saints were expelled from the play-off final as a result - after beating Boro over two legs - and were also handed a four-point deduction this season.

    McAnuff feels Eckert "got off very, very lightly".

    He added: "Ultimately he's not going to miss any time on that sideline.

    "Southampton fans, players and staff who had no knowledge have been incredibly harshly punished - I think justly.

    "I feel, ultimately, one man was responsible for that. I cannot understand how the commission has come to the conclusion that he won't face any time off the touchline.

    "It's a real shock and certainly something I didn't see coming. When you step over the line that should have severe repercussions and I don't think we've seen that with the sanctions that have been handed down."

    With Middlesborough the club to have uncovered Saints' spying, fan and editor of Fly Me To The Moon fanzine, Robert Nichols, also offers his thoughts on what this decision feels like from a Boro perspective.

  18. Zoe, who is in her mid 20s faces the camera, she has light brown hair and is wearing a white hoodie underneath a black jacket. She's standing on a street in central Middlesbrough. The railway station is in the distance behind her. It is dark and street lights and lights from nearby bars are lit up.

  19. A red and white fire and rescue service tape cordons off the area around the former Billingham library building, which has been gutted by fire. The building has no roof. The side of the building facing the camera would have had a metal structure or cladding, but it is charred by the fire and partly destroyed. The cordon tape is set around a birch tree on a grassed area outside the building.

  20. The edge of a dry grass field stretching into the distance. To the right, separated by a wire fence, is an area thick with trees. Orange flames cover part of the fence, shooting out to a height of about five feet. The fire has clearly been bigger as the foreground is charred with a smaller pocket of flames and a swathe of light grey smoke, all following the line of the fence.
