Hartlepool United have signed free agent forward Wes McDonald on a permanent deal, with terms undisclosed.

The 25-year-old has scored 10 goals in 121 senior career games, 23 of which came last season with Morecambe before his post-season exit.

McDonald spent time with Crystal Palace, Fulham and Birmingham City but failed to make a first-team appearance.

"I am a direct, attacking player that wants to get the fans excited and off their seats," McDonald said.

"I have had some good conversations with the gaffer [Paul Hartley] and I knew straight away, Hartlepool was where I wanted to be."
