About the player
Regan Poole played senior football at 16 and was on the books of Manchester United a year later. He became Newport County's youngest-ever player on his debut, having joined them from Cardiff City's youth system in 2014.
The move to Manchester United came in September 2015. Because of delays in international clearance, he could not play competitively for five months. He made one first-team appearance, in the Europa League in February 2016, and that season's FA Cup was won with him as an unused substitute. Loans at Northampton Town and back at Newport followed before he left on a free transfer for Milton Keynes Dons in 2019.
His best spell before Portsmouth came at Lincoln City. He arrived in January 2021 and was named both Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season for 2021–22.
Poole joined Portsmouth on a free transfer in July 2023 and has since extended his contract to 2027. In his first season the club won the EFL League One title. That autumn he was sidelined for seven months with a knee injury.
He had already come through Wales's age groups from U17 to U21, winning 23 caps at U21 level. His first senior cap came on 11 October 2023 in a friendly against Gibraltar.
