Blackpool have signed striker Chris Long until the end of the season after his contract at Fleetwood Town was terminated by mutual consent.

The 23-year-old joined the Cod Army last summer and scored once in 13 appearances in all competitions.

However, the former Everton trainee only started one League One game following his move to Highbury.

Long has previously spent time at Burnley and had loan spells at MK Dons, Brentford, Bolton and Northampton Town.
