Blackpool FC deadline day RECAP: Seasiders confirm last-minute deal for Crewe winger, right-back conundrum is solved

It’s already been a busy summer of recruitment for Neil Critchley’s side, who have brought in 10 players so far.

Cardiff City midfielder Ryan Wintle became the latest player to sign on the dotted line on Saturday, agreeing a season-long loan move.

Wintle (above) only joined Cardiff on a free transfer earlier this summer, making the move to the Welsh capital from Crewe Alexandra.

But the central midfielder, who is likely to be a replacement for the injured Grant Ward, currently finds himself down the pecking order with his new club.

It’s understood Cardiff do, however, hold the option to recall Wintle in January should they wish to do so.

Wintle joined Josh Bowler (Everton), Oliver Casey (Leeds United), Sonny Carey (Kings Lynn), Callum Connolly (Everton), Daniel Grimshaw (Man City), Reece James (Doncaster Rovers), Tyreece John-Jules (Arsenal, loan), Richard Keogh (Huddersfield) and Shayne Lavery (Linfield) in making the move to Bloomfield Road this summer.

In terms of outgoings, Ben Garrity, Liam Feeney, Alex Fojticek, Sullay Kaikai, Jack Sims, Nathan Shaw, Ollie Turton and Adi Yussuf have all left permanently.

Ethan Robson (MK Dons), Jordan Thorniley (Oxford United), Ewan Bange, Rob Apter (both Bamber Bridge) and Cameron Hill (Sheffield FC) have all left on loan.

And welcome to today’s live blog!

It’s a blog with a bit of a difference today, as there’s no match to build up to or cover. Instead, it’s everyone’s favourite day, transfer deadline day.

The Seasiders have until 11pm tonight to complete their business and chances are, they’ll be busy right up until that deadline.

The Gazette’s Blackpool FC reporter Matt Scrafton will be with you all the way to provide all the latest news as it happens.
