Joe Dodoo delighted with his loan move to Blackpool

Ghana forward, Joe Dodoo says he is happy to join Blackpool on a long-term loan.

The English-born Ghanaian striker joined Rangers FC two seasons ago from English side Leicester City.

However, he failed to nail down regular playing spot and was shipped on loan to English League Two outfit Charlton Athletics.

The 22-year-old struggled to impress at the Valley as he made only five appearances, scoring one goal before his loan was cancelled midway through the campaign.

The sleek forward returned to Rangers FC but was clearly not in the plans of new Manager Steven Gerrard ahead of the coming season but have insisted he is delighted to join the Championship side.

“I’m delighted to be here. I spoke to the manager and he told me what he’s trying to achieve this season and I like the sound of it.

"It’s a good club and I can’t wait to get started and playing.”

Dodoo has represented England at under-18 level and spent part of last season on loan at Charlton Athletic, where he hit two goals in eight appearances.
