Blackpool sign former New York Red Bulls forward

Blackpool have strengthened their squad with the signing of former New York Red Bulls striker Saer Sene.

Last month, the MLS side revealed that they wouldn't be retaining Sene, but the Frenchman has quickly been snapped up by Blackpool, who currently sit nine points from safety in the Championship table.

The 28-year-old told the club's official website: "I want to tell the supporters that I'm happy to be here.

"It's a pleasure for me to be here and bring my best and help the team stay in the league."

Before making eight appearances for New York Red Bulls, Sane spent two years with New York Revolution, where he scored 17 goals in 59 matches.
