Newly promoted EFL League One club Blackpool have taken up the option to extend the contract of Bright Osayi-Samuel by one year, dashing his hopes of moving onto pastures new as a free agent in the summer transfer window.

Blackpool activated the clauses in the contracts of Osayi-Samuel and nine other first teamers, with the Nigerian-born winger's current deal set to run out in June.

The 19-year-old helped the Tangerines secure promotion to the third tier, making 33 appearances in League Two, including the playoffs, and scoring 4 goals ( 3 assists).

The club also announced via their official webpage that a new deal has been offered to Nathan Delfouneso.

Wigan Athletic loanee Sanmi Odelusi has returned to his parent club.
