Bannan Would Welcome Blackpool Return

Barry Bannan has admitted that he would be delighted to go back on loan to Blackpool next season as opposed to being a regular in the reserves.

The 20 year old has recently signed a contract extension with the Villa so there’s no indication he is unhappy at B6, just simply that he enjoyed his first team action whilst away and if he’s unable to break into the first team properly, or be considered for the first team next season his progress would be better aided by returning to the Seasiders.

In an interview with the Blackpool Gazette the little Scot said:

‘We’ll see what happens in pre season, if it doesn’t work out then I’ll have to look at other options, maybe a loan move again. Blackpool would be one of the top options if I was going to come out again.’

Bannan adds that the Seasiders made him feel very welcome, that he made some good friends and he describes Holloway as being ‘absolutely brilliant’ with him which would make a loan return so attractive to him.
