'Not how we expected things to end': Blackpool captain Jay Spearing thanks fans for their support after League One season is curtailed

The midfielder took to Twitter to share a message with supporters after it was confirmed EFL clubs had voted in favour of curtailing the season.

While the play-offs will go ahead, the season is now over for Blackpool who finish the campaign in 13th place due to the points-per-game method used by the EFL to decide final placings.

Spearing posted: "Not how we expected things to end, but this season is done!

"Thanks to all the loan boys - all the best for the future.

"And thank you for the fantastic support this season - stay safe everyone."

Spearing, whose contract expires at the end of the month, will be hoping to pen a new deal at Bloomfield Road.

Speaking to The Gazette in March, the 31-year-old said: "I’ve told the manager and I’ve told the staff that I’d love to be here in the project going forward. I think it’s exciting times for the club.

“At the end of the day it’s down to them. If they want to give me a new contract then that would be fantastic.

“They know where I stand. I enjoy being here and I really enjoy playing football with the new manager especially.

“I do see the club going forward and I’d love to be part of that if the option was there.”

Spearing added: “From day one, when the new owner (Simon Sadler) came in, we said we wanted to be a part of it.

“I want to be a part of it and most of the lads do as well, otherwise we wouldn’t be working as hard as we are on the training field.

“It is really exciting to see that Blackpool are back. The crowds are back and hopefully the new training ground will get done, which will show the club is taking massive steps forward.

“It’s a great place to be a part of. The managerial appointment is a great one because he’s got experience and he’s going to come in with a different way of playing."
