Pools stalwart believes more to come from Miley

Veteran Hartlepool United midfielder Nicky Featherstone thinks there's more to come from Jamie Miley - despite "positive signs" during his first few months at Pools.

The 21-year-old signed for Pools in January following a spell training with the side. He impressed in the closing months of the campaign, scoring twice, including a 96thminute equaliser on his debut, in 16 appearances.

Having progressed through the ranks at Newcastle alongside his brother Lewis, Miley spent the first half of last season on loan at League Two Newport but an injury hampered his progress in South Wales, where he was reduced to five starts and three substitute appearances.

While he might have been tempted to see out the remainder of his contract at St James' Park in Newcastle's Premier League 2 side, for whom he was a regular, Miley opted to sign for Pools in search of first-team football.
