Rowan Roache has joined Vanarama National League North side Southport on a youth loan.
The 17-year-old forward, who signed professional terms with Blackpool in June, will step up his development by getting some regular game time with The Yellows.
Roache, a Republic of Ireland under-17 international, scored 30 goals in 31 matches for the club’s double-winning youth team last season.
