Hadn't played for five and a half months before his Pools debut, a gap of 30th September 2018 to 9th March 2019, and if he wasn't contracted to a club couldn't have been called up to the Canadian squad.

I'll not get too attached to him, would appear he'll just fill in until the end of the season.

Yep, I was a aware of that. Holohan hasn't played a competitive match since last autumn either. Both on short term deals so Pools really have nothing to lose and a lot to gain if it works out.

Edgar has done pretty well considering he's come into the side nether match fit nor match sharp.
