Blackpool’s Jordan Thorniley looks forward to regular football after leaving Sheffield Wednesday

The 23-year-old arrived at Blackpool on New Year’s Day for an undisclosed fee having spent three seasons at Hillsborough, making 35 appearances.

But the centre-back has found himself down the pecking order this term, which prompted his move to Bloomfield Road.

“I’ve always wanted to get out and play games regularly so hopefully I get the opportunity to do that here,” Thorniley said.

“There were a few clubs interested in loan deals but when the permanent deal came across I thought that was the best option for me as I can now settle myself into a team.

“I didn’t play as much at Sheffield Wednesday as I would have liked but that’s how it goes in football.

“Sometimes you get players come in and you move down the pecking order, but I enjoyed my time there.

“I’ve seen a few comments from the their fans.

“They’ve been nothing but really good with me since the day I started there, so I can’t complain.”
