✅✍️ DONE DEAL: Winger Corey McKeown has become yet another ACHIEVE client to make the transition into full-time football after signing for National League club Hartlepool United FC from National League North outfit Spennymoor Town.
Winger McKeown, 24, enjoyed another fine season as the club narrowly missed out on the National League North play-off places. He was rewarded for his excellent displays by winning Spennymoor Town’s Supporters’ Player of the Season award at the club’s end of season presentation evening at The Brewery Field.
McKeown netted six goals in 45 National League North appearances during the 2025-2026 season and he now makes the move up to join new Pools manager Lee Clark’s side at Victoria Park.
McKeown joined Moors in November 2022 from Blyth Spartans for an undisclosed transfer fee, where he had played previously under Clark, making 53 league appearances.
McKeown had been on the books at Croft Park since he was 17, bursting on to the scene and securing the Young Player of the Year award after some tremendous performances.
Capable of playing on either wing or in a more central role, McKeown helped Spennymoor Town to reach the FA Trophy final at Wembley Stadium in 2025 and his nine goals during the 2024-2025 campaign alerted the attentions of a whole host of clubs, before he penned a new one-year contract that summer at The Brewery Field. In total, he made 150 appearances, scoring 19 goals for Spennymoor Town.
Congratulations, Corey, on your move into full-time football, from everyone at ACHIEVE.
