HARTLEPOOL United have named Darren Sarll as manager.

The National League club parted company with Kevin Phillips earlier today.

And they have acted to bring in former Woking boss Sarll . 

Club Director Andy Steel told the club's website: “We are delighted to have secured Darren to deliver in our quest to get back into the EFL.

"He presented a very clear and compelling view of how he wants to build the squad, deliver a positive style of football that statistically supports success in this league, and create a winning mentality and culture.

“Critically, Darren also has an in-depth knowledge of the National league and its players as well as first-hand experience of getting teams to play-offs, which were all key criteria for the bboard when looking at a managerial appointment to move forward.

“We believe the appointment will help ensure the club is challenging at the top of the league next season. Working alongside Joe Monks and Ronnie Moore, the work with recruitment will start immediately.”
