    Adam Clayton in action for Bradford City

    Adam Clayton has been reunited with Lee Clark at Hartlepool United after signing a two-year deal to become his number two.

    Clayton, 37, featured under Clark at Huddersfield Town following their promotion to the Championship in 2012.

    The former midfielder also had spells at Leeds United and Middlesbrough during a playing career of more than 500 games.

    Clayton had his first managerial role in charge of non-league Matlock Town for 12 months until March and he told the Hartlepool website: "I've spent a long time in football and have been fortunate enough to work at some excellent clubs throughout my career.

    "You get a feel very quickly for the direction a club is heading and I was hugely impressed by the plans that have been put in place here."

    Clark, who became head coach at the National League side last month, said: "We worked together at Huddersfield and I've followed his career closely ever since.

    "He will be a huge asset for us on the training pitch and in the dressing room."

    Everton remain in pole position for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

    The Toffees have had two approaches rejected by Boro, who value the 23-year-old at around £20m.

    Crystal Palace are also interested but Hackney currently favours a move to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

    Nothing has developed since Everton's second approach while the club are also considering other midfield options.

    Hackney has a year left on his contract at the Riverside after rejecting a £20m move to Ipswich last summer.

    The England Under-21 international, part of the squad which won Euro 2025 last summer, was happy to stay at Boro and did not want to move to another Championship side.

    Nottingham Forest also had an approach turned down late in the winter window in February.

    Academy graduate Hackney has made 154 appearances for Boro, scoring 16 goals.

    McKeown is the fourth player signed by Pools already under their new boss Lee Clark.
