Worley added to Hartlepool ranks

admin

The 26-year-old, a 6ft 4in centre-half, becomes manager Ronnie Moore’s fourth summer signing after the arrivals of Rakish Bingham, Carl Magnay and Rhys Oates.

Worley started out at Stockport and was signed by Chelsea in 2006.

He spent two years at Stamford Bridge without making a first-team appearance and has had permanent spells at Leicester, Oxford and Newport.

Worley joined Stevenage last summer but ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the third game of the season and did not feature again until the final game of the campaign at Luton.
