Hartlepool United manager Colin Cooper has said that Jonathan Franks played a vital role in the 2-2 draw against Cheltenham Town.

Cooper's side were 2-0 down at half time, but Franks grabbed a brace after the break to secure a point for the visitors.

"We got back into the game by Franksie having a gamble," Cooper is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"I thought he really enjoyed his chance through the middle, because that is where he wants to play, he took his chances nicely."

Hartlepool are 14th in League Two.
