Midfielder Callum Martin featured for the youth team between 2008 and 2010, with his performances on the wing impressing the Pools management enough to earn him a professional contract at the end of his time with the juniors. He had a frustrating first year as a pro, being restricted to just five starts for the reserves during an injury-hit campaign. He was released at the end of the 2010/11 season without having featured for the first team.
