With Louis Jones and Ben Bottomley also sidelined, Doncaster’s only keeping option is 17-year-old first-time scholar Jake Oram, who is yet to feature at first-team level.

The loan deal lasts for seven days.

After taking on Salford this afternoon, Doncaster face Crawley Town away from home on Tuesday night.

Moore hasn’t made an appearance for the Seasiders this season, with his last outing coming in October 2021.

Moore’s only other appearance for Blackpool came against Bristol Rovers on the final day of the 2020/21 season, when Neil Critchley named a weakened side after a play-off spot had already been secured.

The goalkeeper first signed for Blackpool on a free transfer in February 2021, initially on a short-term deal until the end of the season before earning an extension during the summer, which also included the option for a further 12 months.

His brother Simon is also a goalkeeper and is on the bench for Blackpool’s opponents Coventry City, who make the trip to Bloomfield Road this afternoon.

Both their father and grandfather also played as goalkeepers.
