We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Olly Casey, on loan from Championship side Blackpool until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old came through the academy at Leeds United before heading to Bloomfield Road in search for first-team football.

Last season, Casey featured on six occasions for the Seasiders in the second-tier and was part of the Leeds squad to win both the Championship and Premier League 2.

Olly Casey said: “I am really happy to be here. It’s been in the pipeline for a while now so it feels great to get it over the line. The experience I’ve already had in the Championship will hopefully put me in good stead for the upcoming season.”

Head Coach Ian Burchnall added: “We're really happy to have Olly with us. He's hungry for an opportunity to play first-team football and has good experience playing in Championship matches last season, so he'll be a great addition to the group."
