Walton Rules Out Blackpool Return

Plymouth’s Simon Walton has ruled out a move to Blackpool this close season.

The 21-year-old spent just over a month on loan at Bloomfield Road over the season run in.

But the midfielder, who can also play across the back four, only made one appearance for The Seasiders – coming off the bench in the 1-0 derby win at Preston.

A move looked unlikely then, and it’s looking even more distant now.

Walton said: ‘I did all right at Blackpool and I impressed in training.

‘But I haven’t had any contact with anyone, so I don’t think anything’s going to happen there.

‘The caretaker manager (Tony Parkes) and his staff who dealt with me have now all gone, so I think that door’s closed now.’

The player and Argyle manager Paul Sturrock has a very public bust-up last season, and it remains to be seen whether the former QPR man stays at Home Park.
