Blackpool sign ex-Wigan keeper Kingson

Blackpool have swooped for former Wigan and Birmingham goalkeeper Richard Kingson on a free transfer.

The Premier League new-boys have been linked with a number of custodians as Ian Holloway aimed to provide cover for the injured Paul Rachubka.

But Kingson is the man they have got on board - and he has been able to join Blackpool outside the transfer window as he is a free agent.

The 32-year-old, who impressed at the World Cup with Ghana this summer, has been included in Blackpool's 24-man squad for the Premier League.
