Peter Hartley scored six goals for Bristol Rovers last season

Blackpool have signed defender Peter Hartley from fellow League One side Bristol Rovers on a two-year deal.

The 29-year-old made 25 appearances for Rovers last season before injury ended his campaign in January.

Hartley previously played more than 200 games for his hometown club Hartlepool United and joined Rovers from Plymouth Argyle in June 2016.

"When Blackpool arose as one of my options it was a no-brainer," Hartley told the Blackpool club website.
