Blackpool striker Danny Mitchley is ready to end his five-month injury lay-off with an appearance for the club's reserves.

The 18-year-old frontman was the runaway leading scorer for the Seasiders' second string last season, but has been out of action with a foot injury since the closing weeks of the campaign.

"It's been a long time out for Danny and that has been frustrating for us but even more frustrating for the lad himself," manager Simon Grayson told the Blackpool Gazette.

"He picked up the injury towards the end of last season and it has taken him longer than we first thought to get back.

"He did terrific last year and I see no reason why he can't catch the eye again and put himself in a position where he is challenging to get into the first team."
