Corey McKeown expressed his enthusiasm after scoring the decisive goal in his debut for Hartlepool United against Aldershot Town. The 24-year-old striker found the back of the net just ten minutes after entering the match, securing a crucial victory for his new club.
McKeown’s move to Hartlepool reunited him with manager Lee Clark, who previously served as his first senior football manager at Blyth Spartans seven years ago. The player credited Clark with providing him confidence and encouragement during that early stage of his professional career, and expressed delight at the opportunity to work together again.
The winger joined Hartlepool on a free transfer from Spennymoor Town after Clark contacted him early in his tenure with the National League side. McKeown described his eagerness to secure the move into full-time professional football, stating he received notification from Clark and first-team coach Gary Liddle shortly after the manager’s arrival.
Hartlepool’s strong start continues with their second consecutive victory, maintaining an unbeaten record at the top of their division standings. McKeown’s contribution highlighted the squad’s early-season form as they establish themselves as contenders in the National League.
