Blackpool have signed experienced defender Marc Joseph from Hull City on a loan deal with a view to a permanent move.

Joseph, who can play at right-back or centre-back, was an integral part of the Tigers' squad which achieved back-to-back promotions up to the Championship.

The 29-year-old, who has also had spells with Peterborough and Coventry, is expected to sign a permanent deal later this week.

He lined up at Bloomfield Road earlier this season when the Seasiders knocked Hull City out of the Carling Cup, and he has just completed a loan spell with League One rivals Bristol City.
