Blackpool sign defender Salaheddine Sbai

Blackpool have signed Morocco international Salaheddine Sbai from French club Nimes, the Seasiders have confirmed.

The 25-year-old left-back has agreed a deal until the end of the season with the option of a further year.

Blackpool have already secured international clearance for the player, who has two international caps, and he will be in contention for next Wednesday's Barclays Premier League clash against West Ham.

The Seasiders are not in action this weekend due to their early elimination from the FA Cup.

An article on the club's website, blackpoolfc.co.uk, read: "Blackpool FC can confirm Moroccan international Salaheddine Sbai has put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season with an option for a further year."
