Hartlepool land defender Magnay

admin

Magnay, 26, comfortable in either full-back position or in central defence, played a key role in Grimsby’s run to the Conference play-off final last month when they lost out to Bristol Rovers.

He becomes Hartlepool’s third summer signing, subject to Football League approval, following the arrival of strikers Rakish Bingham and Rhys Oates.

Magnay was released by both Leeds and Chelsea as a youngster and joined hometown club Gateshead before signing a one-year deal with Grimsby last summer.
