Blackpool have moved for released Portsmouth fullback Steve Finnan.

Former Republic of Ireland defender Finnan, 34, is available on a free because penniless Pompey cannot afford to renew his contract.

But Ian Holloway wants the ex-Liverpool and Fulham star to spearhead his side's survival bid.

Finnan said: "I was not surprised Portsmouth let me go. I have a big decision to make on my future over the next six weeks."
