Marvin Ekpiteta, Callum Connolly, Matty Virtue and Shayne Lavery were among the players to leave Bloomfield Road at the end of their contracts back in May, but others could still follow them through the exit door at Bloomfield Road before transfer Deadline Day on August 30.
Certain individuals could potentially make permanent moves amid interest from other teams, while some of the Seasiders’ youngsters may head out on loan to pick up some more game time.
Here’s a closer a look at some of the players who could end up playing their football elsewhere:
Here’s a closer a look at some of the players who could end up playing their football elsewhere:
7. Kwaku Donkor
Kwaku Donkor could be among the young players who will be sent out on loan. The 19-year-old was handed his senior Seasiders debut in an EFL Trophy group game away to Barrow back in September, and featured two more times for the club in that competition. He also spent time with Havant & Waterlooville on loan last season, making 12 appearances in National League South. Photo: CameraSport -
8. Alex Lankshear
Alex Lankshear made his senior debut for the Seasiders at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, and spent time with Dorking Wanderers last season. So far this summer, he has featured in the friendlies against AFC Blackpool, AFC Fylde and Cadiz, but could benefit from another loan spell away from Bloomfield Road. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
9. Jack Moore
Jack Moore has featured in the friendlies against AFC Fylde and Cadiz so far this summer after his one-year option was exercised at the end of last season. The defender made his senior debut for the Seasiders back in January, as well as featuring 22 times for Chorley in National League North while out on loan. Another spell away from Bloomfield Road could perhaps prove beneficial for the youngster. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
10. Dan Sassi
Dan Sassi joined Blackpool from Burnley during the January transfer window, and was soon sent out to Rochdale, where he made 10 appearances. With limited first team experience for the defender, a short-term loan move might prove to be beneficial. Photo: Nick Taylor/Liverpool FC
11. Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels made his senior debut for Blackpool back in 2022, and has featured in the two first-team games so far during pre-season. The striker has recently spent time on loan with Bradford Park Avenue, and could perhaps head out for another spell somewhere else. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
12. Zak Emmerson
Former Oldham Athletic and Brighton striker Zak Emmerson has featured regularly in the Central League for Blackpool, and was named on the bench for the trip to Reading at the end of last season. In recent times, he spent time on loan with Eastbourne Borough, where he scored five goals in 11 games, and could look for a similar move in the next month. Photo: Jack Thomas - WWFC
