Blackpool sign Jordan Rhodes on 12-month contract

Blackpool have announced the permanent signing of Jordan Rhodes on a 12-month contract. The forward will join the club after his contract with Huddersfield Town expires.

Rhodes, 34, had an impressive loan spell at Blackpool last season, scoring 15 goals in all competitions.

He quickly became a fan favourite at Bloomfield Road, netting nine goals in his first ten matches, including a hat-trick against Reading in September.

With over 200 goals in his EFL career and 14 international caps for Scotland, Rhodes brings a wealth of experience to the squad.

Upon signing permanently for Blackpool, Rhodes expressed his gratitude.

"I'm very thankful to the Head Coach, the Owner, and Sporting Director David Downes for giving me the opportunity to get to this point," he said.

"I feel very lucky to hopefully get another chance to have another shot here at Blackpool. I loved being here each and every day last season and I feel lucky that I potentially get to do that again."

He added, "It's a place I feel really accustomed to, it brings the best out of me and hopefully together we can kick on again this coming season."
