Niko Muir has signed for Hartlepool United this morning for an undisclosed fee. Niko, who scored 40 goals last season, the first Hendon player to do so for nearly 20 years, makes the move up north to join the National League club having scored a total of 51 goals in 90 apperances over the past two seasons.

Whilst we are sorry to see Niko leave, he goes with our very good wishes and we are sure that everyone would agree that he deserves the chance to test himself at a higher level following his performances last season.

We thank Niko for his efforts over the past couple of years, and we will be following his progress with interest.
