Derby County midfielder Darren Robinson has joined Hartlepool United on a loan deal that will run until January 2025.

The 19-year-old Northern Ireland youth international has joined the National League side on a short-term deal that will see him get further experience in senior football.

Robinson was featured in matchday squads throughout the Sky Bet League One promotion-winning campaign last term and made his first senior appearances in the EFL Trophy in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons, having appeared off the bench in the Championship at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.

He was awarded Scholar of the Year accolade during both of his first two seasons with the club over the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns, and he has made regular appearances for the Under-21s in Premier League 2 and other competitions since joining the club.
