Crystal Palace's Dobbie heads to Fleetwood

Crystal Palace striker Stephen Dobbie has joined League One club Fleetwood Town on loan.

The 31-year old has penned a season-long loan with Graham Alexander's men on the eve of the 2014/15 season which kicks off against Crewe Alexandra on the weekend.

Former Blackpool and Swansea City forward Dobbie was thrilled to link up with the Cod Army where he will reunite with ex-Seasiders teammates Stephen Crainey and Keith Southern.

"I met the manager recently and within 10-15 minutes of speaking to him I knew this was the place I wanted to come to," said Dobbie.

"I'm delighted that it's done and I'm just looking forward to the start of the season now."
