Middlesbrough defender Finley Munroe has been linked with a move to Blackpool.

Blackpool are set to make a move for Middlesbrough wing-back Finley Munroe.

The Northern Echo reports talks have taken place between the Seasiders and the Championship outfit over a season-long loan for the 21-year-old - who would provide competition on the left.

Munroe only made the move to the Riverside back in January, but featured just three times in the second half of last season.

The defender spent time in the academies of both Chelsea and Aston Villa as a youngster, with two senior outings coming his way with the latter.

His first-team debut came in a UEFA Conference League meeting with Olympiacos back in May 2024, before being sent out on loan to Real Unión at the start of the following season.

Throughout his time in Spain, Munroe featured 24 times in total, scoring one goal and providing three assists.

Last summer, he made the switch to Swindon Town on loan, where he worked under former Blackpool boss Ian Holloway - who masterminded the Seasiders’ rise to the Premier League in 2010, with current head coach Ian Evatt being part of his famous squad.

While with the Robins in League Two, the Bloomfield Road-linked man enjoyed a productive six months down the left side.

In 27 appearances, he scored two goals and provided nine assists, before being recalled by Villa back in January to facilitate his permanent move to Middlesbrough.
