Blackpool sign defender Horsfall on four-year deal
Fraser Horsfall helped Stockport County to a third-placed finish in League One before losing to Leyton Orient in the play-offs [Rex Features] Blackpool have signed central defender Fraser Horsfall from fellow League One outfit Stockport County on a four-year deal. Horsfall, 28, will join the Seasiders on 1 July when his contract at Edgeley Park expires. Advertisement The centre-back helped Stockport to promotion in 2024 and was part of the team that narrowly missed out on promotion in this season's League One play-offs with Dave Challinor's side losing to Leyton Orient on penalties in the semi-finals. But the former County captain has reset his sights on promotion with Blackpool next season as he prepares to join Steve Bruce's squad. "With the size of this club they shouldn't be in this league, so the main goal is promotion," Horsfall told the club website. Bruce said: "We're delighted to get someone of Fraser's calibre signed early as he demonstrates the leadership qualities we're looking for to compete at the top end of this division."

Leyton Orient enjoy playoff fortune as Charlie Kelman double holds Stockport
Leyton Orient and Stockport drew a controversial League One playoff semi-final first leg 2-2, with the hosts' Charlie Kelman scoring first and last. Kelman was clearly offside for his side's opener in the 30th minute, the officials presumably believing the ball had been played by a Stockport defender rather than Omar Beckles. Stockport levelled on the hour through Oliver Norwood's penalty, awarded for a handball by Rarmani Edmonds-Green, though the defender raised his arm after being held down by Fraser Horsfall. The Stockport pair then combined to give them the lead, with Norwood's free-kick headed in by Horsfall in the 65th minute. Stockport, who finished third, looked set to take a lead back to Edgeley Park for Wednesday's second leg. But Orient were then awarded a penalty of their own, with Horsfall deemed to have had his hand in an unnatural position when it was struck by a shot from Ollie O'Neill. Kelman made no mistake.
