Josh Bowler says he feels a special connection to Blackpool after moving to the club for a third time.
The winger rejoined the Seasiders as a free agent on deadline day after his contract with Nottingham Forest was mutually terminated.
On the back of Scott Banks' arrival, the 26-year-old became the Seasiders' 13th signing before the summer window closed.
He returned to Bloomfield Road after agreeing a two-year deal, plus an option for a further 12 months.
Discussing his return, Bowler told the club's in-house media: “I'm over the moon to be here and can’t wait to be back.
“The connection I felt to the club and the supporters during my previous times here is something I have never experienced before.
“This is a special football club and we need to get it back to where it belongs.
