New keeper for Pontefract Collieries

7 Sep 2022 By James Gordon

Pontefract Collieries have confirmed the loan signing of Hartlepool United goalkeeper Patrick Boyes.

The young stopper joins the club on an initial deal until January 2023.

He spent time with Craig Rouse’s side during pre-season and has done enough to secure a return to Beechnut Lane.

Boyes will provide competition for first team goalkeeper Lloyd Allinson while continuing his development with the League Two side.

Colls are one of just four sides still boasting unbeaten records in the Pitching In NPL East Division, with two wins and three draws from their opening five league matches.

Boyes goes straight into contention for Saturday’s trip to North Shields in the first qualifying round of the FA Trophy.
