Reyes Cleary future as West Brom young star continues red hot National League goal scoring form

The Albion youngster, converted to a left wing back under Pools boss Anthony Limbrick, has been on fire as of late for the north east club, and scored in their 3-2 win over Ebbsfleet on Saturday.

It was their third win in a row - and the Pools boss has been asked about the possibility of potentially keeping Cleary beyond the end of his loan spell.

Cleary had to go to a National League club in January, having already featured for Albion and Walsall.

He joined the National League club in January and is out of contract at the end of the season.

Previously Cleary has made no secret of his desire to secure a new deal at West Brom - but his loan manager was asked about the potential for Cleary to remain in the north east beyond this season.

Although not 100 per cent clear in his answer, Limbrick revealed they have spoken to the player and he is continuing to enjoy his time in the north east.

He told the Hartlepool Mail: "He's been enjoying himself here, there's no doubt about that.

"We speak regularly with him and Gavin Skelton has done a lot of really good individual work with him, they regularly discuss his game and where he can improve, off the pitch as well as on it. Those two have got a really good relationship.

"We spoke last week about the influence Fergie (David Ferguson) has on him and their relationship on the pitch, I think he does a great job with him.

"The numbers are improving as well. Look, he's a great player and the fans have really taken to him. We've enjoyed having him; he's direct and I think he can get even better, I didn't think he had his best game against Ebbsfleet even though he got a goal and an assist. He started the game poorly and the standards for him are so high. He can keep getting better."
