Ex Sunderland Keeper back in the North-East.

Last updated : 16 June 2015 By Daryl Baker

Sunderland academy product Trevor Carson has signed for Hartlepool United, from Cheltenham Town.

As a youngster at Sunderland Carson looked to be a great prospect, and had a fair share of times sitting on the first team bench in the 2008-09 season, although this was down to injuries on both Craig Gordon and Marton Fulop.

He then spent several seasons out on loan to many lower league clubs, but just couldn’t seem to make the cut at Sunderland, he was released to be signed by Bury – who released him on loan a year later.
