Ryan Noble Persuaded Me To Join Hartlepool - Lynch

New Hartlepool United loanee Craig Lynch says he made the move to his new club after being recommend by Ryan Noble.

Noble spent three months at Victoria Park at the end of last season and it was on his word that Lynch decided to follow in his footsteps.

''As soon as I heard about the interest from Hartlepool I had a word with Ryan and he told me how much he enjoyed his time here.'' Lynch told the official site.

''He told me it would be a great move for me to make and gave me some info about the club from his time here and that made me more eager to come to Hartlepool.

''I've loved it so far, they`re a great set of lads here and I`ve fitted in really easily.

''I've come here to learn from the older pros here, gain some experience and hopefully get plenty of game time under my belt - and obviously I want to try and impress the manager.

''I know it`s going to be a challenge for me - I`m more of a ball player than a physical one but I don`t mind getting stuck in to help the team so I`m really looking forward to that part of it.''
