Owen Dale has joined the club from Blackpool on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.

25-year-old Owen first caught the eye after stepping up from the Academy to First Team at Crewe Alexandra. In 2022 he signed for Blackpool ahead of their Championship campaign and, having made 43 appearances on loan at Portsmouth last season, has since featured regularly for Blackpool this season.

Owen has played over 200 games in the Football League which makes him one of the more experienced players in the squad.
