Nathan Delfouneso completes Blackpool move

Nathan Delfouneso has joined Championship crisis club Blackpool on a free transfer.

The former England Under-21 international has signed a 12-month deal with an option for a further year after impressing while on trial with the Tangerines.

Delfouneso, who endured an unsuccessful loan spell with League One Coventry City during the second half of last season, rejoins the Seasiders for a third spell with the club and is the 12th player in the Fylde outfit, who are looking to bolster their squad ahead of the Championship season opener against Nottingham Forest next month.

The 23-year-old played 40 times for Aston Villa after graduating from the club's academy, but found first-team opportunities limited under current boss Paul Lambert.
