Sunderland striker Craig Lynch is happy with his loan move to Hartlepool United.
Lynch was quick to agree to a loan spell at Hartlepool United following a glowing report from team-mate Ryan Noble.
"As soon as I heard about the interest from Hartlepool I had a word with Ryan and he told me how much he enjoyed his time here," Lynch told Hartlepool's official website.
"He told me it would be a great move for me to make and gave me some info about the club from his time here and that made me more eager to come to Hartlepool.
"I've loved it so far, they're a great set of lads here and I've fitted in really easily.
"I know a few of the players in the squad already with Peter Hartley and Nathan Luscombe formerly being at Sunderland and I know a few of the younger lads as well.
"That has definitely helped and made things easier but even the other lads in the squad have been brilliant so this is a great opportunity for me to enjoy my first loan experience."
