Two further assists have come in the EFL Trophy, with one more in the Carabao Cup.

Nicky Adams (Northampton) and Charlie Kirk (Crewe) have 14, while Niclas Eliasson (Bristol City), Matheus Pereira (West Brom), Scott Fraser (Burton) and Randell Williams (Exeter) all have 13.

Feeney, in his second season with the Seasiders, bagged his first goal for the club in the 3-1 win against Fylde coast rivals Fleetwood Town back in December.

It remains his only goal for Blackpool to date in 82 appearances.

The winger's contract runs out at the end of the season but the club hold the option to extend by a further 12 months.
