Brody Patterson has made the switch to Hartlepool following his Celtic exit as he becomes Paul Hartley's latest transfer to join from the Scottish football ranks.
The full-back has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at the club having impressed his new boss during his time at Airdrie. They regularly came up against Hartley's former club Cove Rangers in Scottish League One with his versatility in being able to play in a number of positions a standout attribute for the former Celtic and Hearts midfielder.
The Diamonds finished second behind Cove in the race for promotion to the Championship and then boss Ian Murray's men suffered more heartache after defeat to Queen's Park in the promotion play-off final to make the step up a division. Patterson - who made 17 appearances - admits his move to English football was a 'no brainer' and he can't wait to start working with Hartley and showing the fans what he is capable of.
