Sunderland striker Mikael Mandron has joined Hartlepool United on-loan.

Mandron, 21, has made three appearances for the Black Cats, in addition to loan spells at Fleetwood and Shrewsbury and will remain with Pools until 2 January.

Portsmouth winger Kal Naismith has also joined until January.

"Mikael's a powerful lad and he gives us another option up there," Pools boss Ronnie Moore told the club website.

"Kal has a fantastic left foot but he's one of those who is comfortable playing on the left or the right or even through the middle if we need him to."
