Harker Joins Hartlepool On Loan

Young striker Rob Harker has joined National League promotion-chasers Hartlepool United on loan until the end of the season.

Harker links up with Dave Challinor's side with Pools 11th in the table and unbeaten in their last four games.

The 19-year-old - who joined the Clarets from Bury in July, 2018 - has scored six goals for Burnley's U23 this season to help them challenge near the top of the Professional Development League's northern section.

Harker said: "I’m really excited about it. I think it’s the right time to go out in terms of me developing as a player and at a good club.
