Poole made two appearances during the first month of his loan spell

Hartlepool United have extended the loan of Manchester City forward James Poole for a second month.

The 20-year-old has made two substitute appearances for Mick Wadsworth's Pools following his temporary switch from Eastlands in October.

City have also confirmed that Poole will be allowed to participate in the FA Cup starting with the visit of Vauxhall Motors on Saturday.

Poole is yet to make a first-team appearance for his parent club.

Meanwhile Hartlepool have announced that ticket stubs from the club's abandoned League One fixture at home to Notts County on Tuesday will remain valid for the yet-to-be-re-arranged game.

Season ticket holders will be informed of the new voucher needed to gain entry ahead of the match, while those unable to return will be offered a refund on production of the stub.
