It was an action-packed start to the summer window for Blackpool after they announced two new signings in the first three days of the market.
Fraser Horsfall started proceedings after arriving on a free transfer from Stockport County, before Michael Ihiekwe joined 24 hours later from Sheffield Wednesday.
The centre-back duo remain the Seasiders’ only incomings so far, while Sonny Carey represents the one key departure to date.
Despite Steve Bruce’s side offering the midfielder a new deal, he made the move to Championship outfit Charlton Athletic, where he’s penned a three-year deal.

9. LM - Warren Davis
With Sonny Carey making the move to Charlton, Blackpool are short out wide. The Seasiders have been linked with a move for Drogheda United winger Warren Davis, as per Alan Nixon. The 20-year-old is reportedly wanted by the Seasiders and Reading after an outstanding start to the 2025 League of Ireland season. His impressive form was rewarded with a first call up to the Republic of Ireland under-21’s set-up for the first time. | Getty Images
10. ST - Niall Ennis
Blackpool are one of a number of League One outfits on the trail for the forward. Bolton and Wigan have been credited with interest earlier in the summer, with the 26-year-old’s future at Stoke City uncertain. Ennis spent the second half of the season on loan at Bloomfield Road - operating up front but can also be utilised on the left wing. Photo: CameraSport - Richard Martin-Rob
11. ST - Ashley Fletcher
The experienced goalscorer was in impressive form during the second half of the season, netting eight goals in 14 games between January and March. It will be an intriguing battle with fellow forward Tom Bloxham over which two players Bruce chooses to lead the line. Photo: CameraSport - Richard Martin-Rob
