The one-time Cumbrians loanee signed a permanent deal with newly-promoted Pools after a successful trial. But Olomola s first fully-fledged outing for the Monkey Hangers on Saturday saw him play second fiddle to opponents Gateshead and their former United frontman Cedwyn Scott. The home side s 4-1 win saw Scott net twice for National League North side Gateshead. It saw the 22-year-old keep up some good pre-season form after his move to the International Stadium. Ex-Hebburn Town man Scott, who was released after a half-season spell with United last term, scored twice in the first half as Heed overhauled Pools early lead which came courtesy of a trialist. Macaulay Langstaff and Greg Olley added second-half goals.
