Official : Former Aston Villa Wonderkid Delfouneso Renews Blackpool Contract

Former England youth international of Nigerian descent Nathan Delfouneso has extended his contract with League One newcomers Blackpool.

The striker has appended his signature to a one-year deal, with the Tangerines retaining an option for a second season.

''I was happy when I came back and we’ve had success as well with being promoted,'' Delfouneso said to Blackpool's official webpage.

''We’ve all made a step forward and I’m now looking to keep progressing.''

Delfouneso re-joined Blackpool in the January transfer window, and helped the club secure promotion to the English third tier.

The 26-year-old lists Aston Villa, Burnley, Leicester City, Coventry City, Bury, Blackburn Rovers and Swindon Town among his former clubs.
