'I couldn't turn it down', says Chesterfield title-winner after joining Blackpool from Everton
Harry Tyrer says he could not ‘turn down’ the chance to join League One Blackpool.
The 22-year-old won the National League title with Chesterfield last season after joining on loan for the season from Everton.
The Spireites had been hopeful of re-signing him again and he also expressed a willingness to come back but, in the end, he has made the switch to the managerless Tangerines.
"I’m looking forward to meeting the fans and my team-mates – I can’t wait to get started,” Tyrer said on his move to Blackpool.
“This is a massive club with a great fan base, so it was a decision that I wasn’t going to turn down. I developed a really close connection with everyone at Chesterfield last season, and want to do that here at Blackpool.
“I’m expecting it to be a good challenge for me this season, and it’s one that I know I am ready for. I love winning and that’s what I’ll be aiming to help the team do many times this season.”
Tyrer’s decision means Chesterfield are still in need of another goalkeeper to provide competition for Ryan Boot. The transfer window closes on Friday at 11pm.
The Spireites are next in action away at Gillingham on Saturday (12.30pm).
