Blackpool secure double swoop

Blackpool have completed the signings of Spanish defender Miguel Llera and midfielder Tom Ince.

Centre-back Llera left League One outfit Charlton at the end of last season and has spent much of the summer training with the Seasiders and has agreed a one-year deal with the option of a further year.

The 19-year-old Ince, son of the former England and Manchester United midfielder Paul, has featured in the Seasiders' last three pre-season games and has signed a two-year deal with an option for a third.

Llera said: "I'm very happy to have signed, it's a fantastic opportunity for me to play in this division for the first time.

"With hard work I hope to help this club get back into the Premier League again.

"I've actually been here for a few weeks already, I started training with the side in Portugal and now that I've signed I will start as a substitute and try and break into the starting line-up."
