Young striker Lorne Bickley 'over the moon' to sign for Hartlepool United from Jersey Bulls
The striker has been on trial at Pools from the Channel Islands’ side for the past month and has impressed Dave Challinor and his coaching staff enough to be offered a short term deal at Pools.
Bickley arrives at Victoria Park following a successful four-year spell in the USA. He broke a long-standing scoring record by netting over 20 goals for Wilmington University during their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference campaign last season.
