Fletch arrived at Bloomfield Road from Huddersfield in 2007 ahead of the Seasiders' first campaign in the Championship.

The former Northwich and Lincoln man has worked his way up the league ladder and quickly made the right midfield berth his own.

The midfielder, who can also play upfront, has an eye for goal and was even pushed further forward during a striking crisis last season.

His campaign was ended prematurely due to a knee injury but he signed a new contract to extend his stay with the club.

Having recovered from injury, Taylor-Fletcher made an instant impact in the top flight, bagging Blackpool's first Premier League goal, in the 4-0 win over Wigan. Further goals followed against Manchester City, Liverpool, West Brom and Manchester United.

And although those strikes weren't enough to keep the club in the top-flight, Taylor-Fletcher started last season with a bang when he fired home a tremendous winner in the 1-0 victory over Hull. He finished the campaign on eight goals, but an ankle injury kept him out of the Championship play-off final defeat to West Ham.
