Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Stockport County in front of the BT Sport cameras looks to have been the final with Pools having only 20 points so far from 16 games.

Hignett returned to the club for a third time in March 2018 as director of football before taking over again as manager in January when Richard Money was sacked.

After his first spell at the club as Colin Cooper’s assistant before leaving for Middlesbrough in March 2014, Hignett returned as manager for the first time in February 2016.

He was sacked almost a year later in January 2017 with Pools struggling in League Two.
