Isle of Wight goalkeeper, Stuart Moore, has signed a contract extension with Blackpool FC.

The Isle of Wight born footballer has agreed a new 12-month-contract, keeping him at Bloomfield Road until at least 2022, with an option to extend by a further year.

Moore, 26, was an unused substitute in the League One Play Off final as Blackpool beat Lincoln City 2-1 to secure promotion to the Championship.

On extending his contract, Moore - a former Sandown High School student - said:

“I’m really pleased to get this deal over the line and to be staying at Blackpool for another season.

“For the team to have gained promotion at Wembley last month was a fantastic achievement. From the first day I joined the club, the lads have been excellent and it’s a fantastic group to be a part of.

“I’m looking forward to the season ahead and can’t wait to get started.”
