Reece Wabara celebrates his goal for Oldham against Liverpool

Manchester City full-back Reece Wabara, who scored in Oldham's shock FA Cup win against Liverpool, has joined Blackpool on loan for the rest of the season.

The 21-year-old defender ended his loan spell at Boundary Park by netting what turned out to be the winner in the fourth-round tie on Sunday.

Wabara tweeted:, external "Delighted to have signed for Blackpool on loan.

"Thanks to all the Oldham fans, staff and players. You have been brilliant! Forever in my heart."

He is Blackpool's second signing of the January transfer window, following the arrival of Nottingham Forest striker Matt Derbyshire last week.

Wabara has made just one substitute appearance for City and spent time on loan in the Championship last season with Ipswich Town.
