Manchester City midfielder Lewis Fiorini says it was a no-brainer to join Blackpool.

The midfielder has signed on a season-long loan deal with Michael Appleton's side.

"I'm buzzing to be here and finally get this deal done," Fiorini told the club's website.

"We've been going back and forth for a few weeks to try and get the move completed, but now I'm here I can't wait to get started. I had a few options at other clubs, but this has always been my first choice to come to Blackpool, especially since the gaffer came in over the summer.

"I've obviously worked under him last season at Lincoln, and he was great to work with, particularly on a personal level. Obviously, I'm still trying to make my way in the game and get as much experience as I can, and he gave me a good amount of game-time last season.

"He stuck by me and trusted me and that's a big reason why I wanted to work with him again. Hopefully I can prove myself further here and have a good season for Blackpool."
