Hartlepool United's former winger Sam Folarin has officially joined National League rivals Sutton United. This transfer comes just under two months after Folarin's departure from Victoria Park, where he struggled for game time last season. The 25-year-old made his mark at Pools after signing from Harrogate Town but found himself primarily on the bench, making only one league start. Most of his playing time was spent on loan at Chelmsford City, where he scored two goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances. Folarin is one of 13 players who left Hartlepool at the end of the season, and he is eager to start fresh with Sutton United. In a statement on Sutton's official website, he expressed his excitement about joining the club and the project aimed at returning to the English Football League (EFL). Sutton's head coach Chris Agutter shared his enthusiasm for Folarin's potential, highlighting his speed and technical skills as key attributes that can make him a standout player in the National League. As Hartlepool United looks to rebuild after a challenging season, Folarin's departure marks a significant moment in the club's transition. Fans will be watching closely to see how both Folarin and Hartlepool fare in the upcoming season.
