FC Halifax Town complete signing of Leeds United midfielder

FC Halifax Town have completed the signing of central midfielder Jack Jenkins from Leeds United.

The 22-year-old has joined Town on an 18-month contract with the option of a further year and becomes the club’s second signing of the month after the addition of striker Adan George from Rushall Olympic.

Jenkins made his debut for Leeds as a substitute in a 3-0 FA Cup defeat at Crawley in January 2021 and has had loan spells at Salford City and Scunthorpe United.

The announcement comes a day after Shaymen forward Milli Alli left the club to join League One side Exeter City for an undisclosed fee.

What Hartlepool United boss Kevin Phillips said about decision not to award his side a second goal in National League clash at Woking

Hartlepool United boss Kevin Phillips called the decision not to award his side a crucial second goal against Woking an “absolute joke”.

Midfielder Tom Crawford thought he had doubled the away side’s early lead with a 33rd-minute header in their Saturday teatime National League clash.

But, amid doubts as to whether a foul had been committed or whether the ball had fully crossed the line or not, Crawford’s effort was not allowed to stand.
