    Jack Hunter made 34 National League appearances for Hartlepool in 2025-26

    Hartlepool United midfielder Jack Hunter has signed a new one-year deal.

    The 28-year-old, who came through Newcastle's academy, joined Pools from Halifax in July 2024 and has made 64 league appearances.

    "The supporters have been brilliant with me since day one and I've loved my time here over the last two seasons," Hunter, who can also play at centre-back, told the club website.

    "Obviously, as players, we all wish we'd achieved more during that period because the supporters deserve success, but there's a real determination from everyone to improve and push things forward."

    72+ EFL Pod: Inside Hull’s promotion & Spygate drama

    "It must have been difficult for them with the way they come into the final, with all that went on with Spygate. I just wonder if they, as a group of players, had a bit of impostor syndrome and just felt they don't really deserve to be here."

    The 72+ team are joined by Bromley boss Andy Woodman to reflect on a difficult day at Wembley for Middlesbrough, who lost to Hull City after qualifying for the Championship final following Southampton's expulsion for spying.

  14. 'Deja vu' for Morris as Boro fall short again

    Morris: 'It feels like deja vu'

    Aidan Morris says there was a sense of "deja vu" as Middlesbrough let slip another chance of promotion through their grasp.

    Boro became the first side to lose in both the semi-final and final of the Championship play-offs after their agonising loss to Hull City in injury time at Wembley.

    They were granted the opportunity after Southampton were kicked out following the Spygate scandal, but the Teessiders were left stunned by Oli McBurnie's late goal.

    "It feels like deja vu from 10 days ago," the midfielder told BBC Radio Tees.

    "It's disappointing. We're not going to be victims. We could have done more. As a collective, we weren't good enough and that's it."

    Boro were only reinstated into the final on Tuesday evening after Saints' expulsion, but Morris refused to offer the short and unusual preparation as an excuse for the result.

    He added: "Obviously, it's a bit different from normal football situations. But we should have been better."
