Hartlepool United have signed Irish striker Roy O'Donovan on an initial month's loan from Sunderland.

The 24-year-old has struggled to make his mark with the Black Cats and has already been loaned out to Dundee United, Blackpool and Southend United.

Pools boss Chris Turner told the club's official website: "It's an opportunity for him to show us what he can do.

"He has genuine pace which I feel we've been lacking - we've watched him over a period of time and have been delighted to have the opportunity to look at him in training.

"I think he'll freshen things up for us and hopefully enjoy his spell with the club."
