FORMER East Lancashire professional Con de Lange spins back into the area tomorrow when he makes his debut for Blackpool in the Northern League clash at Darwen.

The 30-year-old left-arm spinner, who was paid man at Alexandra Meadows in 2002, has seen the start of his Blackpool career delayed by back surgery but it fit for the clash at Birch Hall.

While de Lange’s return is sure to attract attention, the game is a big one for unbeaten Darwen.

John Cordingley’s men have won just one of their five games so far and have failed to take advantage of good positions to draw matches and are keen to turn that run around.
