Blackpool have signed Middlesbrough winger Sammy Silvera on loan until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old joined Portsmouth on a season-long loan deal in July but Boro have cut it short to send him to the League One side instead.

The England-born Australia international could make his debut for the Seasiders against promotion-chasing Huddersfield on Saturday.

"It's a pleasure to be here. There is so much history at this club and everyone speaks so highly of it," he told the Blackpool website.
