Hartlepool United line-up v Halifax Town – two changes and Luke Williams in squad

After missing training last week, Luke Williams has been named on the bench for the first time since his dazzling cameo against Sheffield United under-23s in pre-season. Ryan Donaldson also travelled with the squad but didn’t make the bench.
