    Hartlepool have signed striker Terry Bondo on a one-year deal.

    The 19-year-old was a free agent after being released by Blackpool at the end of the season.

    He made 11 appearances for the Seasiders and had loan spells in non-league with Matlock Town, Marine and King's Lynn Town.

    "I'm still at the beginning of my career and I know there's a lot more to come from me," he told the club's website., external

    Pools have the option of an additional 12 months on the deal.

    West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville saw his shot saved during a dramatic penalty shootout against Morocco to knock the Netherlands out of the World Cup on Tuesday.

    Summerville had provided the assist for Cody Gakpo's opener in the 72nd minute, but Morocco equalised in the 91st to force extra time.

    Both sides had missed two previous penalties before the 24-year-old stood up to take the fifth for the Dutch side; however Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou denied him, and Ismael Saibari then sealed the win for their opponents.

    Burnley's Lyle Foster will also be heading home after South Africa succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Canada.

    However, the win for the North American side does mean three English Football League players have made it through to the round of 16 in the World Cup.

    Southampton striker Cyle Larin and Ali Ahmed of Norwich City both featured for Canada in the group stage but were unused substitutes for Sunday's knock-out match alongside Middlesbrough's Alfie Jones.

    Canada next faces Morocco in Texas on Saturday at 18:00 BST.

    Middlesbrough are in talks with Hull City over a £5m deal for striker Kyle Joseph.

    The Tigers beat Boro in the Championship play-off final, which 24-year-old Joseph missed because of an ankle injury.

    He scored eight goals - having joined from Blackpool in January last year - as Hull finished sixth, before suffering the injury in their play-off semi-final victory over Millwall.

    The Tigers are being forced to sell to ensure they comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

    Scottish Premiership club Rangers are also reportedly ready to pay £6m for goalkeeper Igor Pandur which, along with Joseph, would mean the newly promoted Premier League side clear the £6m deficit they needed to erase.

    Goalkeeper Jack Butland could move to Hull as part of a deal for Pandur, who arrived from Fortuna Sittard for £1.5m in 2024 and has made 92 appearances for the club.

    Hartlepool have signed former Brighton defender Charlie Penman on a one-year deal.

    The 20-year-old was released by the Premier League side earlier this summer.

    He never made a senior appearance for the Seagulls but played nine times for Aldershot during a loan spell with the National League side last season.

    "Charlie has come here because he wants to establish himself in senior football and forge a successful career in the game," boss Lee Clark told the club website., external
