'Lovely bit of housery:' Tranmere Rovers faithful left delighted by celebrations from out on loan Blackpool youngster

Earlier this month the 20-year-old committed his future to the Seasiders until 2027, before heading out on loan for the remainder of the campaign to Prenton Park, where he had already enjoyed a successful first half of the season working under Nigel Adkins.

On Saturday afternoon he opened the scoring as Tranmere overcame Grimsby at Blundell Park- with Rovers supporters enjoying his celebration, as he held out his arms before cupping his ears in front of the home fans.

Reacting on social media, one wrote: “Lovely bit of housery to get the fans rattled there haha.”

Another added: “Grimsby fans rattled there.”

A third stated: “It’s just fantastic stuff, what a boy. Cods absolutely rattled.”

Blackpool fans also had their say as Apter’s impressive form in League Two continued.

One noted: “My winger. I honestly believe Neil Critchley and the club have managed him well and we will get the rewards in the long run. Also, love the s***housery. Up the Apter.”

Another wrote: “Apter is loving life man.”

A third added: “He’s a bit good ain’t he lads.”

Following Apter’s opener, Grimsby levelled the scores through debutant and ex-Seasider Doug Tharme- who left Bloomfield Road earlier this month, before an own goal from Toby Mullarkey put Tranmere back in front.
