The club have confirmed he has signed
Welcome Matt
Matt Hill has become the latest player to join Blackpool ahead of the new campaign.
The 30-year-old arrives on a free transfer after leaving Barnsley and has signed a one-year deal with the option for a further year.
The full-back, who has also appeared for Bristol City and Preston previously, is delighted to be back in Lancashire and is relishing the opportunity of working under Ian Holloway.
"These are exciting times and it's great to be back up here," he said. "It's also good family-wise as well because it's not far from where I live. I'm happy to be here and I hope to do well.
"The manager tried to get me a long time ago when he was at QPR but for reasons it didn't happen. I'm grateful now to work with him because he's got plenty of enthusiasm. He wants to play football and I feel that he can help my game.
"I'm looking forward to playing here and hopefully I can do well for Blackpool," he added.
Hill has joined his new team-mates in Portugal for a pre-season training camp.
