JOHN Brackstone has signed for Darlington after being released by Hartlepool United.

And the left-back is one of three to sign for Quakers - Hull City defender Scott Wiseman and Motherwell winger Kevin McBride have also put pen to paper.

Wiseman spent time on loan at the club last season.

Left-back Brackstone was freed by Pools at the end of the season after making 35 starts for his hometown club.

He made 12 appearnces during Pools promotion season, the last in the LDV Vans Trophy back in October.

Striker Eifion Williams could be the next player to move from Pools to Quakers, with Dave Penney keen on the striker who was released by Pools boss Danny Wilson.
