Transfer exclusive: Hartlepool United eye summer move for ex-Middlesbrough defender - if National League rivals don't cash in now
Pools are of a number of clubs monitoring Tinkler’s situation, but are not looking to sign the player before the end of this season.

Hide AdThe Mail understands Tinkler has been offered new terms by the International Stadium outfit, but given the off-field issues, which are on going, it’s unlikely any of Gateshead’s key players will pen extended deals.
