SEAN Thornton has been signed to Blackpool FC on a month-long loan from Sunderland.
The 19-year-old joined the Black Cats from Tranmere Rovers last summer for a tribunal set fee of £250,000. This new deal is "initially for one month" Blackpool said.
Seasiders' manager Steve McMahon described Thornton as an "up-and-coming star", adding: "I am delighted that Sean has joined us.
"He will benefit from playing first team football and will be a good addition to our squad. He played at this level last season and impressed me on a number of occasions."
