Harvey Bardsley signed professional terms with the Seasiders in the summer of 2023.

Impressing following his arrival last season, Bardsley has quickly established himself as one of the bright prospects in the youth system.

The goalkeeper was the hero of the Central League Cup win over Wigan Athletic in 2023, saving the all important penalty in the shootout victory, as Stephen Dobbie's Development Squad picked up silverware at Bloomfield Road.  

Bardsley sustained an injury ahead of the 2023/24 season, which saw him spend over a year on the sidelines as he regained fitness with the first-team.  The goalkeeper went out on loan to Northern Premier Division side Bamber Bridge in the 2024/45 and played nine times for the club.  

In May 2025 the keeper agreed fresh terms on a new contract, which will keep him at Bloomfield Road to atleast the summer of 2026, with the Club also holding an option for a further 12 months.
