Ballard is highly rated but had a tough last term, which was cut short by a knee injury.

"It’s a real honor to be here and I can’t wait to get started," the 19-year-old told Blackpool's club website.

He did impress in the early part of last term on loan at Reading, scoring five goals in 12 games.

But he missed the rest of the campaign with the knee problem he sustained in November.
