Blackpool have signed former Crewe defender Ollie Turton on a free transfer.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months, and will officially join the club on July 1 when his contract at Crewe expires.
Turton, an Alex academy product, becomes Blackpool's third signing of the summer and he is looking forward to playing in Sky Bet League One.
"I am delighted to get it all done and dusted," he told the club's official website.
"Looking at how well Blackpool did last season getting promoted and from speaking to the manager on the phone, he said there's so much ambition and it made it an easy decision in the end.
"I was in League Two last year and I felt I had a good season, I just felt like I was ready for a challenge again. This was the perfect opportunity.
"I'm going to have to work hard to get myself into the team and hopefully do well."
Turton made over 150 appearances for Crewe, including 50 last season, since making his professional debut for the Railwaymen in 2011.
