Left-back Luke Higham signs a new 12-month contract with Blackpool, where he has been since the age of eight.

Luke Higham has agreed a new contract with League One side Blackpool.

The 19-year-old made his senior debut last month and has gone on to make a total of nine appearances.

"I'm really pleased to sign a new deal at Blackpool. I grew up as a fan of the club and making my league debut was a really proud moment for me," he told the club's official website.

"I've been waiting for an opportunity in the team and I think I've settled in quickly. I know that I need to keep working hard in training to impress the manager and hopefully keep my place, though."

The left-back, who has been at Bloomfield Road since the age of eight, is now contracted until June 2017.
