Blackpool have signed midfielder Elliot Embleton for an undisclosed fee from Championship club Sunderland.

The 25-year-old played 21 times and scored two goals for Blackpool that year as they were promoted from League One in the play-off final at Wembley.
Now he has been reunited with manager Neil Critchley after leaving his boyhood club where he made almost 100 appearances.
"I need to get back playing football and I’ve got such happy memories here, where I feel like I played well and we ultimately ended up getting promoted," he told the club's website, external.
Blackpool begin their League One campaign away to promoted Crawley Town on Saturday (17:30 BST).
