Blackpool defender Calum Macdonald joins Tranmere

Calum Macdonald will link up with his former Blackpool captain Jay Spearing and coach Ian Dawes at Tranmere

Blackpool defender Calum Macdonald has joined League Two club Tranmere Rovers on a season-long-loan deal.

Pre-season results do matter says boss Critchley

The 22-year-old signed for the Seasiders last summer after three years with Derby County.

He made 19 Blackpool appearances last season, 12 of them in League One, and had begun to feature regularly before lockdown in March.

The Scotland Under-21 international will link up with his former Blackpool captain Jay Spearing at Prenton Park.

Rovers manager Mike Jackson, the former Seasiders defender, said: "I would like to first of all thank Blackpool for allowing Calum to join us on loan for the season.

“Calum is a bright young player with good experience, having played a number of games in League One last season. He has a great left foot and is also good at getting forward too. He glides across the pitch and he will provide us with plenty of different options."
