Martin seals Blackpool move
Youngster signs two-year contract with Championship club
Last updated: 3rd July 2008
Grayson: Another new signing
Blackpool have finalised the permanent signing of Joe Martin from Tottenham Hotspur.
The Championship club had a bid accepted earlier in the week and Martin has now moved to Bloomfield Road for an undisclosed fee.
The youngster, who can play at left-back or in midfield, has signed a two-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months.
Martin finished last season on loan at Blackpool and made one appearance in the first team against Watford.
He leaves White Hart Lane without playing a senior game and his signing continues a busy week for Seasiders boss Simon Grayson.
