Blackpool will sign forward Ashley Fletcher on a two-year deal when his contract with Championship side Watford expires on 1 July.

The 28-year-old joins with the option of a further 12 months, having made just six appearances in three years with the Hornets.

Fletcher spent time on loan with Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, Wigan Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday during his time at Vicarage Road.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a process to get the deal over the line, but I鈥檓 delighted now it鈥檚 all done and pleased to be here," he

鈥淭here鈥檚 no getting away from the fact it鈥檚 been a tough couple of years, but that鈥檚 behind me now and I鈥檓 so happy to be somewhere that I鈥檓 wanted.

鈥淚 hope to bring experience and good performances to help the team achieve our goal this season.鈥

Fletcher is the second signing made by Blackpool this summer after experienced forward Jordan Rhodes made a permanent move from Huddersfield Town.
