Hartlepool United attacker Joe Grey has paid tribute to the support of Pools fans following the conclusion of his fifth season at the club.

Grey, who made his debut as a teenager in October 2020, has gone on to score 24 goals in 155 games in the North East, including six in 39 last term.

The versatile frontman is one of the last vestiges of the memorable 2020/21 promotion-winning squad, along with veteran Nicky Featherstone and David Ferguson, who is in negotiations over a new contract, and has established himself as a fan favourite at the Prestige Group Stadium.

Although the 22-year-old, who endured a barren spell in the second half of last term, would surely like to add more goals to his game, his pace, determination and hard work have made him a valuable asset to Pools over the last few seasons.
