Blackpool's first Deadline Day signing shares first words following Luton Town move
Reuell Walters has made the move to Blackpool on loan from Luton Town.
Reuell Walters states he’s hopeful of making the most of the opportunity to show what he can do following his loan move to Blackpool from Luton Town.
The 21-year-old makes the switch to Bloomfield Road having struggled for minutes with the Hatters throughout the campaign so far.
He will provide competition at right wing-back for the Seasiders, on the back of Danny Imray being recalled by Crystal Palace and Andy Lyons currently being ruled out through injury.
The defender spent time with a number of clubs as a youngster, including Arsenal - who used him as an unused substitute in several first-team games.
After turning down a new deal at the Emirates, he made the move to Kenilworth Road in 2024, and featured 14 times in the Championship during his first season with the Bedfordshire outfit, but just four appearances have come his way in League One this time around.
Discussing his arrival on the Fylde Coast, Walters said: “It’s an amazing feeling to be here. I’ve been given a great opportunity to show what I can do and I’m hoping to show the best version of myself over the coming months.
“I’m looking forward to meeting the lads and the fans and kicking on.”
Further moves expected at Bloomfield Road
In addition to the signing of the former Arsenal man, The Gazette also understands that Blackpool are continuing to work hard the behind-the-scenes on further additions, with more than one expected today.
