Former Sunderland youth and globe-trotting midfielder joins FC Hartlepool
FC Hartlepool are delighted to announce the signing of Harry Pilkington as our latest summer addition.
Harry arrives with a wealth of experience and versatility, capable of playing across the midfield or in full-back roles. Known for his high energy, tactical intelligence, and competitive edge, he offers the kind of flexibility and consistency that will be key throughout the 2025/26 season.
His signing is considered a real coup for the club, bringing both quality and character to the group.
Harry began his footballing journey at Sunderland AFC before building an impressive non-league career with stints at Billingham Town, Guisborough, Consett, Birtley Town, and Penrith. His football journey has also taken him around the world, having played abroad in the USA, Canada, France, Germany, and Australia, adding valuable experience and maturity to his game.
The club had this to say on the signing:
“Harry’s someone we’ve admired for a while. His experience speaks for itself, but it’s his attitude and work rate that really stood out. He’s the kind of player who can slot in anywhere, and he’s a great fit for how we want to play this season.”
Everyone at FC Hartlepool extends a warm welcome to Harry — we’re excited to see what he brings in red and blue.
