Hartlepool have given two young players professional contracts at Victoria Park. Nineteen-year-olds Matty Robson and John Brackstone have both signed deals after impressing boss Neale Cooper.
Robson, a left-sided player, has started 21 games this season, while Brackstone has also been in the team.
"They have shown tremendous desire, and dedication to make it as pro footballers," assistant boss Martin Scott told the club's website.
