Leicester City defender Alex Mortimer has joined Blackpool on trial after his club agreed to let him play in two reserve games for the Seasiders.

The 19-year-old left-sided player joined the Foxes from Manchester United in 1999 and signed professional terms at the end of last season, but has yet to make a first-team appearance.

Offering a contract at the end of the season to send him out on trial in August? Hmmm, yet more good planning by LCFC?
