Dan Ballard joins Blackpool on loan

Dan Ballard has joined League One side Blackpool on loan for the 2020/21 season.

The 21-year-old defender is a product of our Hale End academy and has been at the club since he was eight years old, progressing to a scholar in July 2016, which was followed with his first professional contract in June 2018. His positive development was rewarded with signing a new contract with us in May 2019.

Dan has represented Northern Ireland at youth level and recently made his senior international debut for his country in September, playing in both Nations League matches against Romania and Norway.
