Hartlepool United manager Danny Wilson has expressed his delight at making Andy Monkhouse's loan move to Victoria Park permanent.

The 26-year-old Swindon Town midfielder impressed Wilson during his month-loan stay with Pools, scoring three goals in eight appearances for the League Two promotion-chasers.

"From our perspective, we liked what he did when he was here and we're delighted to welcome him back," Wilson told the club's official website.

"He adds a great balance on the left for us and adds competition for places in the squad which is essential.

"The more players we have the stronger the squad will get and I think this is a good signing for us.

"I think the fans took to him while he was here, the players certainly did and that's a bonus too.

"He came here and felt comfortable in the surroundings and with everyone at the club and hopefully he can do well here."
