Former Sunderland midfielder Chris Maguire has signed for League Two side Hartlepool United. The former Black Cats playmaker was recently charged by the FA in relation to betting and left Lincoln City 'by mutual consent.'
Last month, the Imps revealed Maguire had been suspended by the club pending an FA investigation into alleged breaches of betting rules. It's been alleged that Maguire placed 52 bets over a five year period, including during his four-year sting on Wearside.
Hartlepool United say they're aware of the recent FA charges and know that the 33-year-old may miss some of their campaign.
