Chelsea on Saturday announced that goalkeeper Max Merrick will spend the 2026/27 season on loan at National League side Hartlepool United.
Merrick joined the Premier League west London club at the Under-13s level.
He has become a consistent presence for Chelsea’s Under-21s, featuring across the Premier League 2, the Premier League International Cup and the EFL Vertu Trophy.
