Hartlepool have confirmed the signing of free agent Ebby Nelson-Addy following a successful trial with the club.

The 22-year-old midfielder impressed the Pools in a reserves outing against Hull City. Nelson-Addy worked his way up through the Aston Villa academy before being released in 2012 and dropped down to non-league Brackley Town and Worcester City. Boss Ronnie Moore told the club website: "We like what we've seen from Ebby in training and the reserve game, and his versatility to be able to play in a number of positions gives us some new attacking options. "He's still only young but he has a lot of ability and I think with some full-time training we can improve him further and he can be challenging for a place in the team before the end of the season."
